While walking down the busy city street, a rather affluent looking woman was approached by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The lady took out her wallet, got out a few dollars and asked,
"If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of food?"
"No way! I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless woman told her.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" she asked.
"No, I can't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time just 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,then," the lady 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."
I 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!"
