I just wanted to show you what happens to a man who doesn't smoke, drink or gamble."

There was a rich man who was approached by a poor beggar asking for food.

The rich man asked, "Do you smoke? I could give you some cigarettes."

The beggar responded, "No, I don't. I am just hungry and want food."

Then the rich man asked, "Do you drink? I have a bottle of good whiskey I could give you."

The beggar replied, "No, I don't drink. I am just hungry and need food."

Finally the rich man asked, "Do you gamble? I could give you some good tips on the races this weekend."

The beggar again replied, "No. I am just hungry and want some food."

Finally the rich man said, "Well, in that case, I had better take you to my home."

He invited the beggar into his car and drove him to his very substantial home. There, he introduced the beggar to his wife, who asked, "What are you going to do with this man?

Are you going to invite him to live with us, eat our food, and wear our clothes?

"The man replied, "No, of course not. I just wanted to show you what happens to a man who doesn't smoke, drink or gamble."
