Will I Live to see 80?

Here's something to think about. 
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 sixty-something.) 

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, wine or hard liquor? 
'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, boating, 
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 
'No, I don't,' I said. 
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a Lots of sex?' 
'No,' I said... 
He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a shit?
