Bum

Walking in the city, a man was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby - looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollors for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollors and asked, "If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?"

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

"Will you use it to gamble?"

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

"Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?"

"Are you crazy, I haven't played golf in 20 years."

The man said,"I'm not going to give you the two dollors. Instead, I'm going to take 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 doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."

"That's OK," the man replied. "I just want her to see what a man looks like who has given up drinking, gambling & golf."
