A young beautiful lady joins a beauty pageant. In the question and answer portion, the emcee asks her, “Would you still accept your boyfriend if you knew he had AIDS?” The lady stands confidently, smiles knowingly, and grabs the microphone. “Yes, I will still accept him,” she answers, “because I do believe that AIDS doesn’t matter. That’s all thank you.”
