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.
