Slatten and the homeless man
Feb 11, 2018 14:20:41 #
Slat was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
Slat 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," the bum said.
"Will you use it to gamble?"
"I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive."
"Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"
"Are you NUTS!? I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
Slat 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."
The bum was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."
Slat replied: "That's OK. I just want her to see what a man who's given up drinking, gambling and golf looks like."

BB, it's not gambling if you play poker with a Swabbie.
It's more like having your own ATM at the table.

That sounds like Slats for sure.
I just can't imagine Slats sharing his food with anyone especially a bum.
He must have been very desperate for sure.

Understood, Mr. B. There is much to question with regards to our Senior Squid.

I am sure that he will keep me on the straight and narrow path that he himself travels on.

I would not argue that, as long as you're aware it is the straight and narrow path to terrestrial perdition.

I would think that BB would disagree with you on that.

Unquestionably, I agree. But, though he has come to expect it, the 'terrestrial perdition' or eternal condemnation that I write of will be coming from his Marine superiors.
