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 quid for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted ten pounds 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."
