 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.  (I just turned "72").
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke cigars, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?' ||| 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs,  either!’ 
Then he 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!’  
He asked 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' |||  'No, I don't,’ I said. 
He asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?’ ||| 'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,  'Then, why do you even give a s**t?'

I saw '90.  Other than meeting my wife, 1990 was nothing special.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.
