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 wine, shopping,

and hair appointments.'

LOL Nice!

 

And I thought it was going to be a good simertain (sp?) and take the woman out to have her hair done and stuff

 

But her answer was much better

I know! I was thinking I should have put "jokle of the day" or something in the title after I posted.

I never attend another family function if I didn't have wine! It's like my security blanket!
