Young girl from Donegal leaves home to find work
among the bright lights of London.
Comes home 6 months later and 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 and a
large diamond ring.
(Same exchange with mom -- same "Won it at bingo.
" Then Colleen returns to the bright lights once again.)
A few months later, she's back again. And this time
she's sporting a beautiful emerald and diamond
necklace with matching bracelet and earrings.
She hands her mother 1,000 pounds and
explains that she won it all at the bingo.
Then she asks her mom to run her a bath as
she needs 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 quarter inch of hot
water in the bathtub. Colleen, a wee bit peeved
at her mom being so cheap with 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 quarter inch of water in the tub!"
"Indade there is, me darlin'" replies her mom.
"But we don't want ye gettin' yer bingo
ticket wet now, do we?"
