A doctor was amazed by his 92-year-old patient’s incredible health.
“Mr. Johnson,” the doctor said, “I have to know your secret. How have you managed to live so long and stay in such perfect health?”
The old man smiled and said, “It’s simple, doc. I never argue with anyone.”
The doctor scoffed. “Oh, come on! That’s impossible. That can’t be the reason. Everyone argues sometimes.”
Mr. Johnson calmly replied, “You’re absolutely right.”
The doctor, getting a bit flustered, continued, “No, I mean, it’s just not a scientifically valid reason for good health! There has to be something else… diet, exercise, genetics…”
Mr. Johnson, still smiling, said, “You’re absolutely right.”
Now visibly annoyed, the doctor said, “Look, this is ridiculous! Agreeing with everything I say doesn’t prove anything! For all I know, you could be arguing with people all day long!”
Mr. Johnson simply shrugged and replied, “You’re absolutely right.”
