Will I live to be 80?

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. 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 beer
or wine?" "Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either." Then he
asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No, my
former 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," 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." He looked
at me and said, "Then, why do you give a shit?"
