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?'

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!"
Oh, and here's what to avoid.
Knowing our luck we'll still be on CS looking for "The One"
