I recently chose a new primary care physician.  After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age.
 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 alcoholic beverages?"  "No," I replied.  "I don't do drugs, either." 
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"  I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!"
He asked, "Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"  "No, I don't," I said.
 He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"  "No," I said.  "I don't do any of those things."  !
 Then he looked at me and asked, "Then why do you give a shit?"
