OT: Humor - What Clean Living Gets You

[Guest guest]

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 alcohol with it instead? "

 

" No, I had to stop drinking years ago, " the homeless man replied.

 

" Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food? " the man asked.

 

" No, I don't gamble, " the homeless man said. " I need everything I can

get just 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. I just want her to see what a man looks

like who's given up beer, gambling, golf, and sex. "
