a friend of mine went to the doctor one time, and you know it bugs me, all this health stuff; like people who are worried about being in good health. . .like you're gonna live forever.

life, sooner or later, life will kill us all.

so i figure you may as well live a little and get your money's worth for dying. like people worried about diet, i'm going, if you cut out all the cholesterol, and all the calories and all the fat outta my diet, what would be the point of eating?? i, uh, i'm not a big health nut. and, uh, i'm kinda glad i'm not.

cause i, uh, this friend of mine, he's so careful about what he, everything, he went to the doctor and he was having these terrible headaches, and the doctor examined him, couldn't find anything wrong with him. so he asked him,

"well, uh, do you smoke?"
and the guy said "oh, no i never smoke."
"are you ever around second hand tobacco?"
"no, i never go anywhere where i might encounter second-hand tobacco, i'm very careful about that."
and the doctor said "wow, do you, are you a drinking man?"
"no, i am a teetotaler, i've been a teetotaler since i was sixteen."
the doctor said "well, do you watch a lot of television?"
"no, i never watch television, the only thing i do for entertainment is, i read my bible."
the doctor said "then ok, i prescribe for you a pack of cigarettes and a six pack of beer, and a real good movie. if i was as uptight as you, my head'd hurt too."
