I recieved a version of this in an e-mail from a friend not long ago and laughed for a whole morning. Art

Beer, Fishing, Golf & Sex
 
A man was walking down the street
 when he met 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 use it to go fishing
instead of buying food?"
the man 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 greens 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!" 
 
"Will you spend the money on
a woman in the red light district
instead of food?"
the man asked. 
 
"What disease would I get for
ten lousy bucks?"
 exclaimed the homeless man. 
 
"Well," said the man,
"I'm not going to give you the money.

 Instead, I'm going to take you home
for a
 terrific dinner cooked
by my
wife." 
 
The homeless man was astounded.
"Won't your wife be
 furious with you for doing that?
I know I'm dirty,
 and I probably
 smell pretty disgusting." 
 
The man replied, "That's okay.
It's important for her to see
what a man looks like after he 
has given up:

 Beer--Fishing--Golf,
      &-- Sex."
