Particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked me for a couple of quid for dinner.
I took out my wallet, extracted £10 and asked,
"If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you spend this on bike parts instead of food?" I asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't had a bike 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 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,
"That's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and bikes."........
