<p>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 90?”</p>
<p>He asked, “Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine to excess?” “Oh
no,” I replied. “I’m not doing drugs, either.”</p>
<p>Then he asked, “Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued<br>
ribs?” I said, “No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!”</p>
<p>“Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf,<br>
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?” “No, I don’t,” I said.</p>
<p>He asked, “Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of<br>
sex?” “No,” I said. “I don’t do any of those things.”</p>
<p>He looked at me and said, “Then, why do you give a crap?”</p>
