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."
