The
Long-Lived Golfer
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
dad when he died?"
The old-timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?"
The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your
dad's still alive? How old is he?"
The old timer said, "He's 100 years old and, in fact, he
golfed with me this morning, and 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 dad's dad? 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 years 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 said, "Who said he wanted to?"
