[at-l] And now.....a joke

A 60-year-old man went to a doctor for a checkup prior to a
thruhike. The doctor told him, "You're in terrific shape.
There's nothing wrong with you. Why, you might live forever;
you have the body of a 35-year-old. By the way, how old was
your father when he died?"

The 60-year-old responded, "Did I say he was dead?"

The doctor was surprised and asked, "How old is he and is
he very active?"

The 60-year-old responded, "Well, he is 82 years old and
he's going with me to Maine.

The doctor couldn't believe it! So he said, "Well, how old
was your grandfather when he died?"

The 60-year-old responded again, "Did I say he was dead?"

The doctor was astonished. He said, "You mean to tell me
you are 60 years old and both your father and your
grandfather are alive? Is your grandfather very active?"

The 60-year-old said, "He thruhiked with Dad and me last year"
said the patient, "But he can't come this year.  My grandfather is
106 years old, and next week he is getting married again."

The doctor said, "At 106 years why on earth would your
grandfather want to get married?"

His patient looked up at the doctor and said, "Did I say he
wanted to?"
