An 85 year old man facing heart surgery tells the doctor he has two questions:

“First, if your 85 year old father was in this situation, would you advise him to have the surgery or not?”

The doctor said, “I would tell him to go ahead – he was healthy and in good shape just like you, and the surgery would improve what he could do.”

“OK, second question – how well did you get along with your father?”
