Will I live to see 80?

[Miss Critter]

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.

(I just turned 66.) 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, 'Not much. 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, flying model aeroplanes 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.

He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a sh*t?

Love it, Miss Critter! What is that saying about going out all sideways and discombobulated? That's me, most definitely.

At least this is a variation. One of my favorites!

That's it, Miss Rita! Thank you. For some reason, it makes me smile everytime I see this statement and I truly believe everyone should practice this daily. The world would be a much, much better place! ;-)
