Giving Up Wine

Giving Up Wine
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty
and shabby-looki ng hom eless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for
dinner. 

 I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this

 '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 need to spend
 all 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 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.' 

 I just know you're laughing!
 You're gonna send it on - aren't you?
