After two visits and a thorough clinical examination, doctors told Edgar he was feeling “quite well” for his age. Edgar was a little concerned about these words and couldn’t help but ask the doctor, “Do you think I’ll live to be 80 years old?” The doctor asked, “So, do you smoke or drink beer?” “No, I’ve never done it either,” Edgar replied. The doctor then asked, “Do you eat ribeye steak or barbecue ribs?” Edgar said, “No, I hear all red meat is very unhealthy.” “Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, playing golf or anything?” the doctor asked. “No, it’s not,” Edgar answered. The doctor then asked, “Do you gamble, drive fast cars, run around with women?” “No,” said Edgar. “I would never do that,” said the good doctor, looking at Edgar. “Then why on earth would you want to live to be 80?”
