I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a dirty and shabby-looking homeless 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 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 dont 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 havent had my hair done in 20 years! Well, I said, Im not going to give you the money. Instead, Im going to take you to dinner with my husband and me tonight. The homeless woman was shocked. Wont your husband be furious with you for that. Im dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting. I said, Thats okay. Its important for him to see what a woman looks like after she gives up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.
