Irish Girl - Happy St. Patricks Day!!An Irish girl went to London to work as a secretary and begansending home money and gifts to her parents. After a few years, they asked her to come home for a visit, as her father was in failing health. She pulled up to the family cottage in a Rolls Royce and stepped out wearing fur and diamonds. As she walked in the house her father remarked, "Well lass, they seem to be paying secretaries awfully well in London!" The girl took his hands and cried, "Dad -- I've been meaning to tell you something for years but I didn't want to put it in a letter. I can't hide it from you any longer ...I've become a prostitute. Her dear old father gasped, put his hand over his heart and keeled over. The doctor was called but the old man had clearly lost the will to live. He was put to bed and the priest was called. As the priest began to administer Extreme Unction, with the mother and daughter weeping and wailing bedside, the old man muttered weakly, "I'm a goner--killed by me own daughter! Killed by the shame of what you've become!" "Please forgive me," his daughter sobbed. "I only wanted to have nice things. I wanted to be able to send you money and the only way I could do that was by becoming a prostitute." Brushing the priest aside, the old man sat bolt upright in bed, smiling. "Did you say PROSTITUTE?! ! I thought you said PROTESTANT! ! |
