>> 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."
