Leapin' Leprechauns: A Rogue Elf made the scene this morning at the Starbucks on Houston Street in Ft. Worth, and I'll be damned if she wasn't up to something. Her pot of gold, a green, plastic bucket which dangled from her left arm, was entirely empty. She wore a green velvet dress, matching striped stockings, elfin buckle shoes and a green cap. "Oy," I said, "Here we go, again!" "What do you mean?," she asked. "Nothing personal, but I seem to run into costumed loons at every Starbucks I go to, all over the world." She shot me a look like she wanted to hit me over the head with a shillelagh and said, "What costume?!?" Then she laughed and danced a jig in place. Moments later, she was gone. "Excuse me," she called, "But I have to go mingle with the masses." Was she a real Leprechaun or just a tipsy local loon? Your Guinness is as good as mine ...!

Oh but I like it. All the employees at our hospital cafeteria were in costume today. The tables had green cloths and green and white flowers and shamrocks were everywhere. Nothing like getting into the mood of a holiday.
Marty- When in "doubt" go with LOON,it could be safer.
Do Not doubt your Radar Loon meter, you have gotten it down to a science.
Marty - One other piece of advice - never listen to an anonymous post!
VERY FUNNY!
