    A short Irish story
    An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years...



    Upon her return, her father barked at her: 'Where have ye been

    All this time? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why

    Didn't ye call? Can ye not understand what ye put yer poor, poor

    Dear Mother through?'

    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 and.. . '

    'Now what was it ye said ye had become?' said Dad. The girl, crying

    Again, 'Sniff, sniff... a prostitute, Dad! Sniff, sniff.'



    'Oh! MY! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a
    Protestant'.

    Come here and give yer old Dad a hug!
