The Homeless Woman

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. The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?" "No," I had to stop drinking years ago, the homeless woman replied. "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 t he homeless woman. "I haven't had
my hair done in 20 years!" "Well," said the woman, I'm not going to
give you the money. "Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner
with my hubby and myself tonight." The homeless Woman was astounded.
"Won't your hubby be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm
dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
The woman replied, "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.
