A 65 year old Marine went to the doctor for a physical exam 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 Marine and Im up well before daylight, climb all over the "O" course out back, then I go run for awhile, and that's why I'm in such good shape.
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, "Dad dead? Who said anything about my dad being dead?"
The doctor said, "You mean you're 65 years old and your dad's still kicking? How old is he?"
The old timer said, "Dad is 85 yrs old and, runs the "O" course too, in fact after doing the obstacle course he went running with me this morning. That's why dad's still alive... he's a Marine as well!"
The doctor said, "Well, that's all fine and dandy, but I'm sure there's still more to it. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"
The old timer said, "Whoa, Grandpa's not dead either!"
The doctor said, "You mean your dad is 85 years old, and his father is still living! How old is he?"
The old timer said, "Grandpa is 104 years old and he is a Marine as well."
The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and sarcastically said, "I guess he went running with you this morning too, huh?"
The old timer said, "Nah, actually he didnt! Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he had to go to the hospital.
Oh, I see. Hes sick then.
No, he isnt sick. He was visiting my grandmother.
So was she sick?
Well no, but I have a new great uncle!"
