The homeless man....

[blaine]

A Bro’ was walking down the street, sportin’ his colors when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. Instead of beating him to a bloody pulp, the Bro’ took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and said, "It took a lot of balls for you to hit me up money, so I’ve gotta believe you’re in bad shape. Let me ask you this. If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead?" "Hell no," said the homeless man. "I stopped drinking 25 years ago."

"Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food?" the Bro’ asked. "No, I don't gamble," the homeless man said. "I need every damn nickel I can get just to stay alive."

"Will you spend the money on motorcycles or anything related to hot rods instead of food?" the man asked. "Absolutely not!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't ridden in 20 years and I haven’t had a car for at least 5 years."

"Well," said the Bro’, "I lied man. I'm not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my Old Lady."

The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, my clothes are ragged and I probably smell pretty bad."

The Bro’ replied, "Hey, man, that's okay! I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up beer, gambling, motorcycles and cars!"
:cool: :tongue:

Now that's what I call justification!
