An Irish daughter had not been home for
over 5 years. Upon her return, her Father
cursed her heavily.
'Where have ye been all this time,
child?
Why did ye not write to us, not
even a line?
Why didn't ye
call? Can ye not understand what ye
put yer old Mother
thru?'
The girl, crying, replied, 'Sniff,
sniff....Dad....
I became
a prostitute...'
'Ye what!!? Out of here, ye shameless
harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this
Catholic family.'
'OK, Dad-- as ye
wish. I just came back to give mum this
luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten
bedroom mansion plus a $5 million
savings certificate. For me little brother, this gold
Rolex. And for ye Daddy, the sparkling new
Mercedes limited edition convertible that's
parked outside plus a membership to the
country club...(takes a breath)...and
an invitation for ye all to spend New Years
Eve on board my new yacht
in the Riviera.'
'Now what was it ye said ye had
become?' says Dad.
Girl, crying again,
'Sniff, sniff....a prostitute Daddy! Sniff,
sniff.'
'Oh! Be Jesus! Ye scared me half
to death, girl! I thought ye said
a Protestant.
Come here and give yer old
Dad a
hug.
