Cecil was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man, named Max, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
Cecil took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," Max replied.
"Will you spend this on green fees at a golf course instead of food?" the Cecil asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the Max. "I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
"Well," said Cecil, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife, Tanya."
Max was astounded. "Won't your Tanya be furious with you for doing that?
Cecil replied, "That's okay. It's important for Tanya to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and golf."
