A man goes to the doctor and says:
- Doc, I would like to live very long. What should I do?
- I think that is a wise decision - the doctor replies.
- Let's see, do you smoke?
- Oh.. Half a pack a day.
- Starting NOW, no more smoking.
The man agrees.
The doctor then asks:
- Do you drink?
- Oh, well Doc, not much, just a bit of wine with my meals, and a beer or two every once in a while.
- Starting now, you drink only water. No exceptions.
The man is a bit upset, but also agrees.
The doctor asks:
- How do you eat?
- Oh, well, you know, Doc, normal stuff.
- Starting now you are going on a very strict diet. You are going to eat only raw vegetables, with no dressing, and non-fat cottage cheese.
The man is now really worried.
- Doc, is all this really necessary?
- Do you want to live long?
- Yes.
- Well then, it's absolutely necessary. And don't even think of breaking the diet.
The man is quite restless, but the doctor continues:
- Do you have sex?
- Yeah, once a week or so..., only with my wife! - he adds hurriedly.
- As soon as you get out of here you are going to buy twin beds. No more sex for you. None.
The man is appalled.
- Doc... Are you sure I'm going to live longer this way?
- I have no idea, but whatever you live, I assure you it is going to seem like an eternity!
