A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly
dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars
for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked,
"If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead?" "No, I
had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied. "Will you use it
to gamble instead of buying food?" the man asked. "No, I don't gamble," the
homeless man said. "I need everything I can get just to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?" the
man asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf
in 20 years!" "Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district
instead of food?" the man asked. "What disease would I get for ten lousy
bucks?" exclaimed the homeless man.
"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm
going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife." The
homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing
that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting." The man
replied, "That's okay. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's
given up beer, gambling, golf, and sex."
