THE BUM ...

A bum 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 in on liquor are you?"

"No, sir, I don t drink," retorts the bum.

"You are not going to throw it away in some crap game, are you?" asks the gentleman.

"No way, I don t gamble," answers the bum.

"You wouldn t waste the money at a golf course for greens fees, would you?" asks the man.

"Never," says the bum, "I don t play golf."

The man 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 your 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, gamble or play golf."
