Giving Up Chocolate
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 chocolate intead of dinner?""No, I had to stop eating chocolate 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 doen in 20 years!""well," I said. " I am not going to give you the money. Instead I am going to take you out to 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 am dirty, and I probably smell really disgusting". I said "thats ok. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and chocolate".
