Will I live to be 75

Submitted by CYOA_With_Hitler t3_10mywjq in Jokes

So I went to see my new primary care doctor and he tells me I'm doing 'fairly well' for my age.

I'm like, 'Okay, but am I gonna make it to 75?'

And he's like, 'Well, do you smoke, drink, or do drugs?'

So I'm like, 'No, no, and no.'

Then he goes, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'

And I'm like, 'Not really, my old doctor said red meat was bad for me.'

He's like, 'Alright, do you spend a lot of time in the sun, playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or biking?'

And I'm like, 'No, not really.'

And finally he goes, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

And I'm like, 'No, no, and no.'

And he looks at me and goes, 'Well then, why the hell do you even care if you make it to 75?'

This was more of an inspirational anecdote than a joke, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Eating healthy, not drinking, exorcising doesn't make you live longer, it makes life seem longer

This boomer joke can be easily turned into a modern one. Just add this line:
"I want to play every single game in my Steam library"

Even if you abstain from all this stuff, sooner or later you'll be lying on your death bed dying of nothing.

Twain had a similar but funnier joke.

I am the same way and even making 40 seems so hard!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
