Moishe had reached 60, so he went to see Dr. Myers for a full check-up. When he had finished, Dr. Myers said, "Relax, Moishe, you’re in very good shape. I can’t find anything wrong with you. You’ll probably live till you’re 100. So how old was your father when he died?"
Moishe replied, "Did I say he was dead?"
Dr. Myers then asked, "How old is your father, is he still active?"
"He’s 83 and goes jogging and Israeli dancing every week." Moishe replied.
Dr. Myers was very surprised. "How old was your grandfather when he died?"
Moishe again answered, "Did I say he was dead, doctor?"
Dr. Myers was astonished. "You mean to tell me that you are 60 years old and both your father and grandfather are alive? Is your grandfather active?"
Moishe replied, "He goes swimming twice a week, and plays a full round of golf every Sunday, weather permitting. Not only that, he is 107 years old and next month he is getting married again."
Dr. Myers said, "If he’s 107 years old, why on earth would your grandfather want to get married?"
Moishe looked Doctor Myers in the eye and said, "Did I say he wanted to?"
