Brought to You by Robert--Giving Up Wine

   

I was walking  down the street when I was accosted by a particularly 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 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.'

You're gonna send  it on - aren't you?
