A young girl from Donegal leaves home to find work in the bright lights of London. She 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?"
...
Colleen returns to the bright lights again. A few months later, she's back. This time she's sporting a beautiful emerald and diamond necklace with matching bracelet and earrings. She hands her mother £1,000 and explains that she won it all in bingo. Then she asks Mom to run her a bath as she needs to freshen up.
When Colleen gets to the bathroom, there's only a quarter inch of hot water in the bathtub. Colleen, more than a bit peeved at her Mom being so cheap with the hot water after being handed £1,000 , calls downstairs, "Mom! Didnt I ask you to run me a bath? There's only a quarter inch of water in the tub!"
"Indeed there is, my darlin," replies her Mom. "But we don't want ye gettin' yer bingo card wet now, do we?"
