A woman was walking down the street when she was approached by a
particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner.

The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If
I give you this money, will you use it to buy some wine with it instead of dinner?"

"No, I had to stop drinking years ago." The homeless woman replied.

"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" The woman
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?" The woman
asked.

"Are you NUTS!" Replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done In 20 years!"

"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight."

The homeless Woman was astounded. "Won't your hubby be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, And I probably smell pretty disgusting."

The woman replied, "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!"

Lol that was pretty decent...

Although without the joke at the end, it actually makes sense.
And it's sad to think nobody is willing to help a person out like that, by making an effort and taking them out for dinner or whatever else.

Especially since it's more practical, plus you can share eachothers company and know they won't spend the money irresponsibly.

Problem being most people stop at throwing a few pennies at someone in the street, and that's as charitable as the majority will get...if even that.

An exceptional few go out of their way to help, and even they won't consider taking a homeless person out for dinner with their husband.
