Living longer

I have to do fairly intensive physicals before I can go abroad for work and had one this week. The doctor was new, and fairly young, and frowned a bit over the results.

'Am I okay?" I asked. She nodded and I asked jokingly 'will I live to see 80?'

She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

'Strictest moderation. And no recreational drugs at all, before you ask.'

'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

'Not much' I said, 'my last doctor said to cut right down.'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

'No,' I said a little wistfully

She looked at me sternly. 'Then why do you even give a shit?'

Kind of nice way to tell you your life is pretty boring.laugh
"“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

A guy was told he had terminal cancer...six months to live.
He asked the doc if there was ANYthing he could do.
The doc suggested he live like you.
"And then I'll live more than six month?", asked the guy.
"Nope.", replied the doc, "But that six months will seem like a hundred years!"

I like UN's advice. Always liked that quote!
Good one, Crown. The best way to know a man's age is by the height of his belt. If yours is still around your waist and no where near your armpits, you've nothing to worry about! laugh

When I get to 80, I'll let you know I have lived that long.

Knowing our luck we'll still be on CS looking for "The One"doh
