I recently picked a new GP doctor, after my old doctor retired.

After two visits and many exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'pretty well' for my age. (yeah I have just reached 50 8).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 85?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or top-shelf booze?
'Oh not much grog these days and don't smoke' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat scotch-fillet steaks, fatty roasts and barbecued snags?

'I said, 'Not much.... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

He asked - 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, surfing, hiking, bicycling , Playing Bowls ?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble on the footy, drive fast cars, or have a heaps of manic sex?'
'No,' I said...


He looked at me and said,.. "Then, why the FUkK do you want to live to 85?"
