Luck of the Irish

[Nicolas Leonard]

Two Irish lovers are sitting on a bench, in a park. They are holding
hands, but the lady is nervously twisting her hands.

*Mary:* "Patrick. I have something to tell you."

*Patrick:* "Well, what's on your mind? You know you can tell me
everything."

*Mary:* "It's so terrible."

*Patrick:* "You know you can trust me. What is it?"

*Mary:* "Well, it was a few years ago. Father lost his job, and no
money in sight.."

*Patrick:* "So, what is it?"

*Mary:* "Oh. We were so desperate. For some time I had to turn ...
prostitute!"

*Patrick:* "WHAT!"

*Mary:* "We needed the money so bad!"

*Patrick:* "There is no good reason for this! Endangering your very
soul! How could you? YOU! Mary, this is more than I can stand!"

*Mary:* "Not you, Pat! No! I thought you'd understand. I thought you
could still love me, even though I had been a whore."

*Patrick:* "Oh! ...You... Well, that's ok. For a moment I thought
you said 'protestant'!"
