I recently turned 60 and had to choose a new primary care physician for my healthcare insurance.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, Dr. T 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 will live to be 80?'
He asked: Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I don't do drugs, either.'
'Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?'

'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'
I said, 'No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun.

'Do you gamble, 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?
