A Homeless Man
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."
