The
Tramp (PG)
A
man was accosted
by a particularly shabby, smelly man who asked him for money for dinner. Winkley
took out his wallet, extracted a fiver, and asked,
"If
I give you this money, will you take it and buy whisky?"
"No,
I stopped drinking years ago," the beggar said.
"Will
you use it to gamble?" he asked.
"I
don't gamble," said the man.
"Will
you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?" he asked.
"Are you MAD?" said the beggar, "I
haven't played golf in 20 years!"
At
which our viewer exclaimed,
"Forget the money.
I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The
beggar was astounded.
"Won't your wife be bothered? I know I'm dirty and
I probably smell pretty bad too."
"That's
alright," he replied, "I want her to see
what a man looks like when he's given up drink, gambling, and golf."
