I recently had to choose a new doctor, and after several visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing "fairly well" for my age.

 

Hmmm. Being a little concerned over that turn of phrase, I asked, "Do you think I'll live to be 82?"

 

"Do you smoke, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?" she asked. "Oh, no," I replied, "and I don't use drugs either."

 

Then she asked, "Do you often eat rib-eye steaks and barbequed ribs?" "Not often," I replied. "My previous doctor said that too much red meat is unhealthy."

 

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun: golfing sailing, swimming, fishing or riding a bike?" "Absolutely not," I affirmed.

 

And then she asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?" "Nope, not really," said I.

 

After an uncomfortable pause, she put down her clipboard, looked me in the eye and said, "Then why

do you even give a ****?"
