A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by
a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who
asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked,
"If I gave you this money, would you take it and buy whiskey?"

"No, I stopped drinking years ago," the bum said.

"Wouldn't you really use it to gamble?"

"I don't gamble. I need anything I can get just to stay alive."

"Would you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"

"Are you NUTS!!?? I haven't played golf for 20 years!"

The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you
$2.00.Instead, I'm going to bring you to my home for a terrific
dinner cooked by my wife."

The bum was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious
with you for doin' that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell
pretty bad."

The man replied, "Hey, man, that's OK! I just want
her to see what a man looks like who's given up
drinking, gambling and playing golf."
