An old man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking Plum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?” “No, I stopped drinking years ago,” Plum said. “Will you use it to gamble?”
“I don’t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive so I can fish to eat “Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?” “Are you NUTS!? I haven’t played golf in 20 years!” The old man said, “Well, I’m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I’m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”
Poor Plum was astounded. “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.” The man replied: “That’s OK. I just want her to see what a man who’s given up drinking, gambling and golf with the fishing looks like.”

Sure I did someone had to he’s much better now he doesn’t have to beg and eat out of trash cans. I got him new clothes and of course I have to make him take a bath. I don’t send him out by himself I have to watch him but he’s fine when he’s asleep

If you would let me use the indoor facilities, you wouldn't have to " send me out ". I am house broken.
Plum don’t lie you have been in your room with a bathroom. You were used to the out house. I will admit you used the out house at first and my wife couldn’t take she moved your facilities out until we got you cleaned out. We had to buy a new washer and dryer. So my wife being a nurse after we got you clean she suggested adult depends which you still used. Just be grateful we took you in. The undercover reason is to help us in the garden
