This whole "survey" thing reminds me so much of an old joke that I just
can't resist sharing it:
A 40-year old guy goes to his doctor.
"Doc, I've decided I want to live to be 100. Can you give me any advice on
how to do that?", he asks.
His doctor replies, "Okay, I want you to give up cigars, whiskey, rich food,
gambling, fast cars and fast women and I want you to spend as much time as
possible in church."
"Will I live to be 100 if I do all that?", asks the man.
"Probably not," says the Doc...."but it'll seem like it!" :)
