A petrol station outside Dublin.

The owner of the Special K told me very funny story . . .
American tourists coming to Ireland are desperate
to see a Leprechaun.
An imaginative and unscrupulous tour promoter,
from Limerick,
would hire local boys
to dart across the road
in front of the tourbus
at a particular road junction.
So not only would busloads of tourists
actually see an apparent Leprechaun,
but several of the quicker ones
even take home pictures.
