Journey Man
An ex School Teacher 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 ex School Teacher 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 sort of 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.".........
