Crazy thing happened today

Crazy thing happened today. I saw a homeless man & I asked him if I gave him $20 would you buy booze?

He said no he hadn’t had a beer in years.

Then I said if I give you $20 will you buy hunting gear? He again said no, he got rid of his hunting gear 15 years ago.

So then I said I’ll do you better than $20. I’ll take you home get you all cleaned up. My wife will cook a fantastic meal for you. Then I’ll bring you back & still give you $20.

He asked me won’t she get mad? I said it didn’t matter. I just wanted her to see what happens to a man when he stops drinking & hunting.
