Subject: Will I live to 80?
>> I recently had to choose a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests,
>> she said I was doing fairly well for my age.(I am past seventy).
>>
>> A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
>>
>> She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
>>
>> 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
>>
>> Then she 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.
>>
>> She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
>>
>> 'No,' I said.........
>>
>>
>> She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shite?
>>
>>

My cousin and I went hunting, when, taking a leak in the woods, he was bitten by a rattlesnake.
“I’ll go into town for a doctor,” I said. I ran ten miles to a small town and found the only doctor delivering a baby.
“I can’t leave,” the doctor says. “But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.”
I ran back to my cousin, who was in total agony. He asked “What did the doctor say?”
I had to tell him, “He says you’re gonna die.”

Strictly from a statistical standpoint, approximately half who live past 65 make it to 80. Not a bad gamble if one is on that side of 65.

When you are past 70, never trust a fart nor pass by a urinal.

AN ELDERLY COUPLE LEARNED TO SEND TEXT MESSAGES ON THEIR MOBILE PHONES.
THE WIFE, A RETIRED COLLEGE ENGLISH INSTRUCTOR WITH EMPHASIS ON THE
CLASSICS, WAS AN UNAPOLOGETIC ROMANTIC; HER HUSBAND, A RETIRED SALTY
NAVY CHIEF PETTY OFFICER OF THIRTY YEARS’ SERVICE, WAS A NO-NONSENSE
GUY.
ONE AFTERNOON THE WIFE WENT TO THE LOCAL STARBUCK’S TO MEET A FRIEND
FOR COFFEE. WHILE AWAITING HER FRIEND’S ARRIVAL, SHE EXERCISED HER
NEW SKILL BY SENDING HER HUSBAND A ROMANTIC TEXT MESSAGE: "IF YOU ARE
SLEEPING, SEND ME YOUR DREAMS. IF YOU ARE LAUGHING, SEND ME YOUR SMILE.
IF YOU ARE EATING, SEND ME A BITE. IF YOU ARE DRINKING, SEND ME A SIP.
IF YOU ARE CRYING, SEND ME YOUR TEARS. I LOVE YOU."
THE HUSBAND RESPONDED: "I'M TAKIN' A DUMP. PLEASE ADVISE."
