Giving up wine ( Archived) (17)

The Cost of Giving Up Wine

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 got ten dollars out of my purse 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.
"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 am
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 shopping, hair appointments, and
wine."
