LIFESTYLE'S OF THE NOT-SO-RICH-AND-FAMOUS

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 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 greens fees at a golf course?"


"Are you MAD? I haven't played golf in 20 years!"

The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you 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, "Hey, man, that's OK! I just want her to see what a
man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf!"
