An Irish girl went to London to work as a secretary and began sending
home money and gifts to her parents. After a few years they asked her to
come home for a visit, as her elderly father was getting frail and very
hard of hearing. She pulled up to the family home in a Rolls Royce and
stepped out wearing diamonds and a full-length fur coat. As she walked
into the house her father said, "They seem to be paying secretaries
awfully well in London these days." The girl took his hands and said
"Dad, I've been meaning to tell you something for years but I didn't want
to put it in a letter. Obviously I can't hide it from you any longer.
I've become a prostitute." Her father gasped, put his hand on his chest
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 administered the last rites with the mother and daughter weeping
and wailing nearby, the old man muttered weakly, "I'm a goner, killed by
my own daughter. Killed by the shame of what she's become." "Please
forgive me," his daughter sobbed, "I only wanted to have nice things. I
wanted to send you money and the only way I could do it was by becoming a
prostitute." Brushing the priest aside, the old man sat bolt upright in
bed, smiling and clearly recovered. "Prostitute? I thought you had said
Protestant."
