Once a man was waiting for a taxi. A beggar came along and asked him
for some money. The man ignored him. But being a professional, the
beggar kept on pestering him. The man became irritated when he
realized that the beggar would not leave him alone unless he parts
with some money.
Suddenly an idea struck him.He told the beggar, "I do not have money,
But if you tell me what you want to do with the money, I will
certainly help you." "I would have bought a cup of tea", replied the
beggar.
The man said, "Sorry man. I can offer you a cigarette instead of tea".
He then took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to
the beggar. The beggar told, "I don't smoke as it is injurious to
health."
The man smiled and took a bottle of whisky from his pocket and told
the beggar, "Here, take this bottle and enjoy the stuff. It is Really
good".
The beggar refused by saying, "Alcohol muddles the brain and damages
the liver".
The man smiled again. He told the beggar, "I am going to the race
course. Come with me and I will arrange for some tickets and we will
place bets. If we win, you take the whole amount and leave me alone".
As before, the beggar politely refused the latest offer by saying,
"Sorry sir, I can't come with you as betting on horses is a bad
habit."
Suddenly the man felt relieved and asked the beggar to come to his
home with him. Finally, the beggar's face lit up in anticipation of
receiving at least something from the man. But he still had his doubts
and asked the man, "Why do you want me to go to your house with you".
The man replied, "My wife always wanted to see how a man with no Bad
habits looks like."
