A young girl from Donegal leaves home to find work in the bright lights of London. She comes home 6 months later & steps out of a taxi wearing a full-length mink coat.
"Begorrah, Colleen," says her mother. "Tis a lovely soft coat yer wearin' an' it looks so expensive. Where did ye get that?"
Colleen replies "Sure now, I won it at the bingo. Don't they have wonderful prizes in London."
When the weekend's over, Colleen returns to the bright lights, but she's back to visit her mom a few months later. This time, when she steps out of the taxi, she's wearing a beautiful gold wristwatch & a large diamond ring.
Same exchange w/Mom ... same "Won it at bingo!"
Then Colleen returns to the bright lights again. A few months later, she's back again. And this time she's sporting a beautiful emerald diamond necklace w/matching bracelet & earrings. She hands her mother 1,000 pounds & explains that she won it all in bingo. Then she asks Mom to run her a bath as she need to freshen up.
Her Mom draws the bath while Colleen gets undressed in her bedroom, but when she gets to the washroom, there's only a 1/4" of hot water in the bathtub.
Colleen, a wee bit peeved at her Mom being so cheap w/the hot water after being handed 1,000 pounds, calls downstairs "Mom, sure now, didn't I ask you to run me a bath? There's only a 1/4" of water in the tub!"
"Indeed there is, me darlin'" replies her Mom. "But we don't want ye gettin' yer bingo card wet now, do we?"
