Ron G. Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I recently picked a new primary care physician. 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 other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!" "Do you spend a lot of time outdoors, like hunting, fishing, camping, 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, never He asked, "do you shoot machineguns, play with pyrotechnics, incendiaries and hang out on the Tom Bowers website. "No," I said. "I don't do any of those things." He looked at me and said, "Then why do you even give a ....??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushi Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yes, in order to live to be 100, you have to give up all the things that would make you WANT to live to be 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Aar Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I got a call from my doctor. He said, "George I've got some bad news for you, and some even worse news." "Oh Gawd, Doc, give me the bad news first, maybe I can work my way up to hearing the worse news" I replied. "Well, I don't know how to say this nicely, but you've got 24 hours to live" the Doc said. "Good Lord!" I shouted "What news could be worse than THAT!" "Uh, I meant to call you yesterday" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
