A fine example.

[Big Tom 10628]

 
A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner. The woman took out her wallet, extracted ten dollars 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 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 husband 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 happens to a woman who had to give up shopping, hair appointments and wine."

Good one!  I never get in my wife's way when she wants to go shopping.  In reality, I probably spend more money than she does.  I always need more chrome and leather.

I can appreciate the chrome John, but the leather may be a little too personal for a family forum.

George, let me explain.  I needed new boots and a belt to hold my pants up.  Not that other stuff.  I can't get Donna to wear any of that other stuff.
