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 got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it?" "No I had to stop drinking years ago", the woman told me. Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping, the woman said. I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive. Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food? Are you nuts! replied the 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 woman was shocked. Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell disgusting. I said, "That's okay, It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, salon visits, and wine.
