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, will you take it and buy whiskey? No, I stopped 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 greens fees at a golf course? Are you NUTS! I haven't played golf in 20 years! The man said, Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars. 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. The man replied, That's OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf.
