Dinner

                        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 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. It's important
for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up beer,
fishing, golf, and sex."
