Another way of looking at it....
The old man recently picked a new primary care physician.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, the doctor said the old man was doing "fairly well" for his age.
A little concerned about that comment, the old man couldn't resist asking the doctor, "Do you think I'll live to be 90?"
The doctor asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?"
"Oh no," he replied. "Not doing drugs, either."
Then the doctor asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"
The old man said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy."
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking,
or bicycling?"
"No, I don't," he said.
The doctor asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"
"No," he said. "I don't do any of those things."
The doctor looked at the old man and said, "Then why do you give a shit if you live to be 90!"
