While all that is certainly true, it's also the case that tho I may
think I want that 11th donut, the reality of having it wouldn't necessarily be as satisfying as I might hope.

Patient;”Doc, what should I do to live to be 100?”
Doctor;”Give up your cigars, your beer, your coffee and tea, don’t even think about sex and don’t take any kind of risk that can possibly be avoided.”

Doctor;”How should I know but it’ll damned sure seem like it.”
