The Top 15 Signs You’re Being
Stalked by a Leprechaun
Stalked by a Leprechaun
- Generic-looking green van parked across the street with Notre Dame bumper sticker.
- Every time you turn around the pitter-pattering stops and that green fire hydrant seems to have gotten a little closer.
- Green lipstick marks on the butt of your Dockers.
- You’re being followed by a large woman with a sultry voice and a dying career. (Oops! That’s a sign you’re being stalked by Chaka Khan.)
- You don’t recall owning an anatomically correct lawn gnome.
- Card delivered with the bouquet of 4-leaf clovers reads, "I bet you’re magically delicious!"
- When you come home from work, the potatoes are missing from the cupboard and your parrot is singing "Danny Boy."
- Prank caller has a really corny Irish accent, and Richard Gere has an airtight alibi.
- Those tiny green hairs on your toilet seat.
- Sultry voice from shower soap dish asks, "Is that your shillelagh, or are you just happy to see me?"
- Pink hearts, yellow moons, blue diamonds scratched on your car at knee-level, and Ross Perot is nowhere to be found.
- Them little green pellets in the litter box ain’t M&M’s, Chester.
- Whitewater Special Investigators are taller, wear more conservative suits, and have a snottier disposition.
- Every day this week you’ve noticed the same buckle shoes dangling just above the floor in the stall next to you.
And the Number 1 Sign You’re Being Stalked by a Leprechaun…
- Tiny scary person — check. Gold — check. Ears that stick out — check. Ice skates — wait a sec, ice skates?!?!
