Doctor's Question

Juan had a full medical check up. When he returned 3 weeks later after the exhaustive lab tests were complete, his doctor said he was doing "fairly well" for his age.

Juan was obviously a little concerned about that comment and so asked his doctor "Do you think I'll live to be 90, doctor?" The doctor replied,

'Well, do you smoke or drink beer?'

'Oh no,' Juan replied, 'I've never done that either.'

Then the doctor asked, 'Do you eat hamburgers, steak or barbecued ribs?'

'No, I've heard that red meat is very unhealthy.'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, lying on the beach or playing golf?' asked the doctor.

'No I don't.' Juan replied.

Then the doctor asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or mess about with women?'

"No," said Juan, "I've done none of those things."

The doctor looked at Juan and said, "Then why would you want to live to be 90?"
