Will I Live To Be 80?
I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well’ for my age.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ‘Do you
think I’ll live to be 80?’
He asked, ‘Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?’
Oh no,’ I replied. ‘I’m not doing drugs, either.’
Then he asked, ‘Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?’
I said, ‘No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!’
Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing,
hiking, or bicycling?’
‘No, I don’t,’ I said.
He asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?’
‘No,’ I said. ‘I don’t do any of those things.’
He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you give a shit?
Hahaha… I don’t think i will my family has back problems, joint problems, all my grand parents have diabetes just about, most in my family have a bone in our hip mess up witch makes the back problems worse, tons of my family members including my mom and dad and some grandparents( I think) have problems with the disk in their back and all the shit… So the odds are against me that is why I plan to make it a hell of a time while I am here:D .
Lol, thats actually pretty funny.
I thought it was a true story until I got here:
Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing,
hiking, or bicycling?’
‘No, I don’t,’ I said.
Cause I know that you would’ve brought up unicycling.
Yeah I should’ve mentioned that it was a joke! My sister actually emailed that to me and I wanted to share it 'cause I thought it was funny.

Wow, my father turned 80 on the day you posted that.
I thought it was true until I hit the “red meat” bit.
I feel stupid, I thought it was real… LOL!
I got to here :
Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing,
hiking, or bicycling?’
‘No, I don’t,’ I said.
and said “you practically just lied to your doctor!”
Then I read the last line and realized I had heard this joke before
