IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, extracted 10 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? I 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 hunting equipment. I asked.
Are you NUTS! replied the homeless man. I haven't gone hunting in twenty years!
Well, I said, I'm not going to give you money. instead I am going to take you home for a 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?
I replied, Don't worry about that. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking, fishing and hunting.
