Funny

I received this in an e mail this morning and thought it was funny. Hope you do too!



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 twenty dollars and asked,

'If I give you this money, will you buy chocolate with it instead 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 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 awoman looks

like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and chocolate.'
