A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?
No, I stopped drinking years ago, the bum said.
Will you use it to gamble?
I don''t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive.
Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?
Are you NUTS! I haven''t played golf in 20 years!
The man said, Well, I''m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I''m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.
The bum was astounded. Won''t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I''m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.
The man replied, That''s OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who''s given up drinking, gambling, and golf.
一个人在城市里走着，一个脏乎乎穿着破烂的流浪汉哀求几个美元吃晚饭。
这个人拿出钱包，抽出两美元问，“给了你钱，你会买威士忌吗？”“不，我很多年前就戒酒了。”
“你会赌博吗？”
“我不赌博，我只需要活下去。”
“打高尔夫吗？”
“你疯了，我都20年没打高尔夫了。”
“我不给你两美元了，我把你带回家让我妻子给你做顿好吃的。”
流浪汉很吃惊，“你那么做，你妻子会很生气，我很脏，又难闻。”
“这很好，我就是让她看看一个不赌博，不喝酒，不打高尔夫的人是什么样。” |
