A man 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 man 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 spend this on green 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!"
*
"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a hot 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?*
*
The man replied, "That's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and golf."
