I was walking down the street when I was approached 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 some 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.
'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 a very nice 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 wine, shopping, and hair appointments.
