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 u this money, will u 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 the golf course?"
"Are you NUTS! i haven't played golf in 20 years!"
The man said, "well, i'm not going to give u 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."
