A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

He 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 him.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' He asked.

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I must spend my time trying to stay alive.'

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' He asked.

'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'

'Well, He said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you to dinner with my wife and me tonight.

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your wife be furious with you for that. I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

He said, 'That's okay. It's important for her to see what a woman looks like after she gives up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
