An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years. Upon her return, her Father cursed her heavily. <\/p>\n
\u2018Where have ye been all this time, child? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn\u2019t ye call? Can ye not understand what ye put yer old Mother through?\u2019<\/p>\n
The girl, crying, replied, Dad\u2026 I became a prostitute.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u2018Ye what!? Get out a here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You\u2019re a disgrace to this Catholic family.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u2018OK, Dad\u2026 as ye wish. I only 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\u2019s parked outside plus a membership to the country club \u2026 (takes a breath) \u2026 and an invitation for ye all to spend New Year\u2019s Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u2018What was it ye said ye had become?\u2019 says Dad. <\/p>\n
Girl, crying again, \u2018A prostitute, Daddy!.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u2018Oh! My Goodness! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a Protestant! Come here and give yer old Dad a hug !!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
