BEER, FISHING, GOLF & SEX:
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my 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?" I 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?" I queried.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
So I asked "Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district instead of food?"
"What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?" exclaimed the homeless man.
"Well, "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."
I said "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." :-)
