I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a very shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my wallet, got out twenty dollars and asked, 'If I give you
this money, will you buy chocolate with it instead of dinner?'
'No, I need food worse than chocolate', the homeless woman told me.
'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.
'No, I need food worse than anything else I could buy' the homeless woman said.
'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I need to eat more than I need to look pretty!'
'Well then,' I said, 'instead of giving you the money, would you do me a favor, and come to dinner with my husband and I tonight?'
The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be upset with
you for doing that? I know I look pretty shabby.'
I said, 'That's okay, I will help you with that later, it's just real important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and chocolate!'
