Will You Live to see 85? Here's something to think about........
I recently saw my G.P. After the visit and some tests, he said I was doing
'fairly well' for my age. (I'm in my late 50s). A little concerned about
that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be
85?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard drink?
'Oh not much grog these days and don't smoke' I replied. 'I don't do drugs
either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat red meat, fatty roasts and barbecued Ribs?'
I said, 'Not much.... I know that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating,
sailing, surfing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars or put it about with the ladies?'
Extremely proud with myself by now I said 'No,'.
He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why the f***'ing hell do you want to live
to 85?
