Like A Woman
A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularlydirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollarsfor 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 allmy time trying to stay alive."

"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20years!"

"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'mgoing to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight. The homeless Woman was astounded. "Won't your husband be furious with you fordoing 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 womanlooks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments and wine."
