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 green 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."
