Giving  Up Wine
 
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and
shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of pounds for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten pounds and  asked, 'If I give you this money,
will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'

'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.

'No, I don't waste  time shopping,' the homeless woman said.
'I must  spend my time trying to stay alive.'

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman.  I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'

'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money.
Instead, I'm going to take you to dinner with my husband and me tonight.'

The homeless woman was shocked.  'Won't your husband be furious with you for that.
I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

I said, 'That's  okay.  It's important for him to see what a woman
looks like after she gives up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
