A 60 year old man went to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor told
him, "you're in terrific shape. There's nothing wrong with you. Why,
you might live forever. You have the body of a 35 year old. By the
way, how old was your father when he died?"
The 60 year old responded, "Did I say he was dead?"
The doctor was surprised and asked, "How old is he and is he very
active?"
The 60 year old responded, "Well, he is 82 years old and he still goes
skiing three times a season and surfing three times a week during the
summer."
The doctor couldn't believe it. "Well how old was your grandfather
when he died?"
The 60 year old responded again, "Did I say he was dead?"
The doctor was astonished. He said, "You mean to tell me you are 60
years old and both your father and your grandfather are alive? Is your
grandfather very active?"
The 60 year old said, "He goes skiing at least once a season and
surfing once a week during the summer. Not only that," said the
patient, "my grandfather is 106 years old, and next week he is getting
married again."
The doctor said, "At 106 years, why on earth would your grandfather
want to get married?"
His patient looked up surprised at the doctor and said, "Did I say he
WANTED to?"
