A homeless man outside a casino…

A homeless man outside a casino asks a rich man for money.

A homeless man outside a casino asks a rich man if he can have a few dollars for a meal.

The rich man offers the homeless man a fine Cuban cigar.

“No thanks,” the homeless man said.

“I don’t smoke, I’m just hungry.”

Taken aback, the rich man offers to take the homeless man into the casino and buy him a few drinks.

“No, if you don’t mind,” the homeless man said.

“I don’t drink either. Why don’t you just give me some money so I can go and buy some food?”

Not wanting to give the homeless man any cash, the rich man comes up with another idea.

“I’ve got a good idea,” he said.

“How about I go inside and place a $10 dollar bet on something? If I win, I’ll give you all the money.”

The homeless man, fed up with explaining himself, gives the rich man one more chance.

“Look, I told you all I want is money to buy food,” he said.

“I don’t gamble. Why not give me half the $10 so I can go and buy something to eat?”

Finally the rich man caves.

“Okay, but first I want you to come inside and meet my wife,” he said.

“Why that’s?” the homeless man responds.

“I want her to see what happens to a man who doesn’t smoke, drink or gamble,” the rich man said.
