An Example (to All Of Us).

[A. BOOZER]

Kirk 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. Kirk took out his wallet, extracted ten

dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer

with it instead?"

"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man

replied.

"Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food?" Kirk asked.

"No, I don't gamble," the homeless man said. "I need everything

I can get just to stay alive." “Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?" Kirk 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?" Kirk asked.

"What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?" exclaimed the

homeless man.

"Well," said Kirk, "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 Kim."

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."

Kirk replied, "That's okay. I just want her to see what a man

looks like who's given up beer, gambling, golf and sex."
