An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a checkup 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?"
