Bits O' the Irish

An older Irish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

"Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to the pub to play darts," she said. The girl agreed then to have a bath the following Monday.

After her husband had left the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have a bit of pubic hair. She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn't believe her, so she said, "Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I'll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see fer yourself.”

So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked: "Do you shave?"

"Oh no," replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?"

"Oh, yes," said the woman and she proudly pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl a patch that a hedgehog would get lost in.

The girl finished her bath and went to bed. Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, "Well... did you see?"

"Aye," he said, "but why in hell did you have to show her yours?"

"Why are you worried about that?" she said. "You've seen it often enough."

"I know," he said, "But the whole bloody dart team hadn't!"
