This is a true story that I have found out from Dads close friend -
It happened a few months ago when dad saw a tramp walking past the lodge as he was on his way out and he was accosted by this particularly dirty tramp
who asked him for a couple of pounds to buy something to eat.
Dad reached into his pocket and took out two pound coins. He started to give them to the tramp, then paused, "If I give you this money, will you
take it and buy cheap wine with it?"
"No, I stopped drinking two years ago!"
"Will you gamble with it?"
"I need all the money I can beg to stay alive! I gave up gambling eight years ago."
"Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"
"Are you crazy? Do you think any course would let me near? I haven't played golf for ten years!"
"Will you spend the money at an internet cafe?"
"No way man? I was addicted to the chat rooms but now I don't go near the damn things"
Dad then announced, "I've decided not to give you two pounds. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a dinner cooked by my wife Nora!"
The tramp was astounded, "Won't Nora be furious with you for doing that? I'm dirty, and I smell bad."
Dad replied, "I promise you it won't be a problem! She has the heart of an angel and is always willing to help those who are down on their luck,
suffering illness, bereaved, with matrimonial problems, or in trouble with the law. Besides, ... I want her to see what a man looks like when he's given up beer, gambling, internet and golf!"
