Beggar

I took out my 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 “Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?” I asked.

“No, I don’t waste time fishing,” the homeless man said

“I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.”homeless man replied.“Will you spend this on hunting equipment?” I asked.

“Are you NUTS!” replied the homeless man

“I haven’t gone hunting in 20 years!”

“Well,” I said, “I’m not going to give you money

Instead, I’m going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”

The homeless man was astounded

“Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that?”

I replied, “Don’t worry about that

It’s important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking, fishing and hunting.”
