I was walking down the street the other day when I was accosted by a rather grubby homeless man who asked for a couple of bucks for a meal.
I took ten dollars out of my wallet and asked the man, If I give you this money are you going to buy booze with it instead of a meal?
The homeless man replied, No! I had to give up alcohol years ago!
I asked, Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?
He answered, No! I dont waste my time fishing! I spend all my time trying to stay alive!
I asked, Will you spend this money on hunting equipment?
The beggar replied, Are you nuts? I havent hunted in twenty years!
So, I said, Well then, Im not going to give you any money. Instead, Im going to take you home with me so you can shower and have a great dinner cooked by my wife.
The homeless man was astounded! Wont your wife be angry with you for bringing a derelict like me home with you?
I replied, Dont worry about that. Its important for her to see what a man looks like after he gives up drinking, fishing and hunting!

I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
