Helping the homeless

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"

He answered "No, I had to stop drinking years ago."

"Will you use this money 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 20 years!"

"Well," I said. "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower, a chance to wash your clothes 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."


Off in my own world

Fish on !!!!!!!
