A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularly
dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of
dollars
for dinner.
She took out her wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you
[script removed][script removed]
this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to
stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman told her.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman asked.
"No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend
all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in
20
years!"
"Well," the woman said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm
going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight."
The homeless woman was shocked.
"Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty,
and I probably smell pretty disgusting.
The woman said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman
looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine." |
