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 of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the
homeless man replied.
"Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying
food?" the man asked.
"No, I don't waste time fishing," the homeless
man said. "I need to spend all my time trying 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. It's important
for her to see what a man looks like after he has
given up beer, fishing, golf, and sex."
