For the ladies
in the audience….
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? | |
