A 65 year old man went to the doctor for his Class II exam and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the bloke was in.
The doctor asked, “To what do you attribute your good health?”
The old ‘un said, “I’m a pilot and that’s why I’m in such good shape. I’m up well before daylight, climb all over the aircraft doing my pre-flight inspection, fly all day, etc.”
The doctor said, “Well, I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be more to it. How old was your father when he died?”
The old bloke said, “Who said my father’s dead?”
The doctor said, “You mean you’re 65 years old and your father’s still alive? How old is he?”
The old bloke said, “He’s 84 yrs old and, in fact, he built and flies his own airplane!
He went flying with me this morning. That’s why he’s still alive… he’s a pilot too!”
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 man said, “Who said my grandfather’s dead?”
The doctor said, “You mean your dad is 84 years old and his father is still living?! How old is he?”
The old man said, “Grandad is 102 years old and he was a pilot too.”
The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, “I suppose he went flying with you this morning too?”
The old man said, “No…Grandad couldn’t go this morning because he just got married and he’s on his honeymoon.”
The doctor said in amazement, “Got married?!! Why would a 102-year-old man want to get married?”
The old bloke said, “Who said he wanted to?”
