She comes home 6 month 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 mum 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.

With the usual exchange with mum........."Won it at the bingo!"

The Colleen returns to the bright lights again . Afew months later, she's back again. And this time she's sporting a beautiful emerald diamond necklace and matching bracelet and earrings.She hands her mother£1000/- and explains that she won it all at the bingo.Then she asks her mum to run her a bath as she need's to freshen up.

Her mum draws the bath while Colleen gets undressed in her bedroom, but when she gets to the bathroom , there's only a quarter inch of hot water in the bathtub. Colleen , a wee bit peeved at her mum being so cheap with the hot water after being handed £1,000/- call's downstairs, "mum! 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 mum. "But we don't want ye gettin' yer bingo card wet now, do we?"
