A bum, who obviously has seen more than his share of hard
times, approaches a well-dressed gentleman on the street.
"Hey, Buddy, can you spare two dollars?"

The well-dressed gentleman responds, "You are not going
to spend it on liquor are you?"

"No, sir, I don't drink," retorts the bum. "You are not
going to throw it away in some crap game, are you?" asks
the gentleman.

"No way, I don't gamble," answers the bum. "You wouldn't
waste the money at a golf course for greens fees, would
you?" asks the man.

"Never," says the bum, "I don't play golf." The man asks
the bum if he would like to come home with him for a home
cooked meal. The bum accepts eagerly. While they are head-
ing for the man's house, the bum's curiosity gets the bet-
ter of him. "Isn't your wife going to be angry when she
sees a guy like me at your table?" "Probably," says the man,
"but it will be worth it. I want her to see what happens to
a guy who doesn't drink, gamble or play golf."
