Kirk was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularlydirty and shabby-looking homeless man, who asked him for a couple
of dollars for dinner. Kirk took out his wallet, extracted ten dollarsandasked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with itinstead?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p
"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 cangetjust to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?"Kirkasked."Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf intwentyyears!"
"Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district insteadoffood?" Kirk asked."What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?" exclaimed the homelessman.
"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 youfordoing 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 lookslikewho's given up beer, gambling, golf and sex."
