A good example!
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 26, 2005 5:39 PM
A bum, who obviously has seen more than his share of
hard times, approaches a well dressed gentleman on the street.

"Hey, buddy, can you spare two dollars?"

The well-dressed gentleman responds, "You're not going to
spend it on liquor, are you?"

"No, sir, I don't drink," retorts the bum.

"You're 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 model train store to
improve your layout, would you?" asks the man.

"No, never," says the bum, "I don't play with trains."

The gentleman then asks the bum if he would like to come
back to his house for a home cooked meal. The bum accepts
eagerly. While they're heading for the man's house, the
bum's curiosity gets the better of him.

The bum asks: "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 with trains."

Good one Bob! And truth be told, I have a beer right now, I'm going gambling in Biloxi, Ms(for
my birthday) this weekend, and I play with trains all of the time. So, in theory, I should be safe
from a life on the streets, begging for money. Dave
