0 pushups per day for life... question

Hi guys,
Ok I was having a discussion today with someone and this weird debate arose. (sounds like one of those spam adverts).
Imagine two identical guys. One decides to start doing 50 pushups a day, every day. The other does not.
What actual benefits does the pushup guy get? Strength? Size? Joint conditioning? Calorific loss. Better ageing? Or perhaps negative? Would the 18,250 pushups per year wear out the joints faster? How about body imabalances and injury, would the pushing without the pulling fuck up the shoulder joint and the elbows?
I just thought it was an interesting perspective, and wondered what people's thoughts were.
cheers.
