I heard this joke from the Spaniard humorist Eugenio:
{ed Reportedly done by Howard Stern in 1982}
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 wose decision. 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 continues:
- 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.
- Absolutely necessary. And don't even think of breaking the diet,
The man is quite restless, but hte 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 is going to seem
like an eternity.
