Giving up wine – a funny short story

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 myhusband 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.”

I just know you’re laughing!
You’re gonna send it on – aren’t you?

Sorry. I don’t think that is funny and by posting it shows that you are an insensitive wanker.

yeah, i also think the same thing. it isnt funny at all. also the reason that you gave the old wowan in the end was a very bad one. you did not show no concern, instead you mocked her. not funny at all.

I think this is a funny joke. I am going to get my wife to tell it today while we are wine touring.
