To long life!

[Larry Gude]

A gentleman recently picked a new primary care doctor upon moving to his long planned for retirement in Florida. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, the doc said he was doing fairly well for a 65 year old. A little concerned about that comment, the man couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 70 or even 80?'

The doc asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

'Oh no,' the senior replied. 'Quit all that years ago!'

Then he was asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

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

'Do you plan on spending a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

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

'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, bungee jump, explore the wilds, scuba dive or have an active sex life?'

'Nope!' he said with healthy pride...

Doc looks at him and sez...






'Then, why do you even give a ####?'

Good, but in seriousness we've had a similar discussion recently..

Like Nursing Homes where the patients aren't allowed to smoke, because it's unhealthy...


Or allowed to drink..

Or married couples aren't allowed to live in the same room..

IF you live to be 80 or 90 (or somebody should draw a line here) you should be rewarded for making it that far, and all rules are off.. Smoke it up.. drink until you pass out every night.. banana splits are the rule.. salads are not.

You want to drive without a seatbelt, ride a motocycle without a helmet, practice unsafe sex.. DRINK A BIG GULP.. drink red food coloring straight up.. DO IT!!
