James wet to the doctor for his yearly medical checkup. And
after the usual routine examinations, the doctor said, “Everything is fine. You’re
doing OK for your age.” But James protested, “For my age? “I’m only 75. Do you
think I’ll make it to 85?”
And the doctor asked, “Do you drink or smoke?” James
replied, “No!” Then the doctor asked, “Do you eat fatty meat or sweets?” Again
James replied, “No! I am very careful about what I eat.” The doctor continued, “How
about your activities? Do you engage in thrilling behaviours like womanizing, speeding
or skiing? Though James was taken aback, he said “No! I would never engage in
dangerous activities.” Finally the doctor said, “Well, why then in the world
would you want to live to be 85?”
