Play golf--live longer

[L W HALL]

An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a checkup and the

doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The

doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?"

The old timer said, "I'm a golfer and that's why I'm in such

good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up

and down the fairways."

The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got

to be more to it. How old was your father when he died?"

The old timer said, "Who said my father's dead?"

The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your

father is still alive? How old is he?"

The old timer said, "He's 100 yrs old and, in fact, he

golfed with me this morning. That's why he's still alive,

he's a golfer."

The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's

more to it. How about your grandfather? How old was he when

he died?"

The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?"

The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your

grandfather's still living! How old is he?"

The old timer said, "He's 118 yrs old."

The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said,

"I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?"

The old timer said, "No...Grandpa couldn't go this morning

because he got married."

The doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a

118-year-old guy want to get married?"

The old timer shot back, "Who said he wanted to?"
