So I'm also cutting back on the beer and crappy food to shed a few pounds for spring, and I got a new doc. I go in for the 2 year whole shabang checkup. After exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing'fairly well' for my age. (I'm about to turn 46).

A little concerned about that comment, I asked him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'

Since I know where this is going, I decided to lie and tell him I don't do any of the bad stuff, so I said "no".

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?'

Again, "Nope."

He looks at me and says,.. 'Then why do you even give a crap?'



I'm going to Rays tomorrow. And when I drop another 10 pounds the beer's back on the diet.
