[Fish Bones]

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 flies at the fly shop?" "Are you NUTS!!?? I haven't fished 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 doin' that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad." The man replied, "Hey, man, that's OK! I
just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and fly fishing!"
