A bum, who obviously had seen more than his share of hard times approaches a
well-dressed gentleman on the street. "Hey, Buddy, can you spare two
dollars?"
The well-dressed gentleman responds, "You are not going to spend it on
liquor are you?"
"No sir, I don't drink," the bum retorts.
"You are not going to throw it away on some fishing gear, are you?" asks the
gentleman.
"No way, I don't fish," answers the bum.
"You wouldn't waste the money on hunting equipment, would you," asks the
man.
"Never," says the bum, "I don't hunt."
The man then asks the bum if he would like to come home with him for a home
cooked meal. The bum accepts eagerly. While they are heading for the man's
house, the bum's curiosity gets the better of him. "Isn't you wife going to
be angry when she sees a guy like me at your table?"
"Probably," says the man, but it will be worth it. "I want her to see what
happens to a guy who doesn't drink, fish or hunt."
