A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly
dirty and shabby-looking beggar who asked him for a couple of quid for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted two quid and asked, "If I gave you
this money, will you 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 mooring fees for your boat?"
"Are you MAD? I haven't owned a boat in 20 years!"
The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you two quid. 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, "Look that's OK! I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and his boat!"
