Boudreaux was walking down the street when he was accosted by particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. Boudreaux took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I gave you dis money, will you buy some beer wit it instead?"
"No,I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you use it to gamble 'stead of buyin' food?" Boudreaux continued.
"No, I don't gamble" the homeless man said. "I need everything I can get just to stay alive."
"Will you spend dis money on fish bait 'stead of food?"
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't fished in 20 years!"
"Well," said a smiling Boudreaux, "I'm not going to give you the two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you home fuh a terrific dinner cooked by ma' wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."
Boudreaux replied, "Hey, man, dat's okay! I juss want her to see what a man looks like who's given up beer, gamblin', and fishin'
