WJW-80 year old man

May 5, 2004 4:20AM PDT

An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up 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 turkey hunter and that's why I'm in such
good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out chasing turkeys
up and down the mountains."

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 yrs old and, in fact, he hunted turkey
with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive... he's a turkey hunter."

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 yrs old."

The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went
turkey hunting 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?"
