    Sounds like Cincy to me. That’s why I lived in Columbus.

    Somewhere an Irish kid with a slim jim is laughing his arse off!

    That just happened to me last week. Weird.

  • dculberson

    And after the leprechaun gets the pants, the gnomes come for your underpants.

  • morbius

    Gee, do you think James Thurber used to do drugs too?

  • David Pescovitz

    I appreciate the guy’s honesty. “Listen, officer. I was tripping balls and this leprechaun told me to drop trou and get in the car. What the hell was I supposed to do? Say NO!??”

  • ethan

    Reminds me of the dude who crashed his car into a tree and explained that, no, he didn’t crash it; a unicorn was driving at the time.

    Can’t find the link, alas.

  • el_beardo

    Does Warwick Davis live in Cincy?! Maybe this dude got confused… maybe it was an EWOK!

  • Miranda

    I know that Leprechaun. He actually lives in the Northern Kentucky area and works at a local soda pop factory called Ale 8.

    I’m not joking.

  • kiint

    isnt that Gibby?

  • Tits McGee

    Best. Pantless arrest story. Ever.

  • V(irtual)D(espot)

    Thurber lived in Columbus, and, fortunately for him, the leprechauns never travel north of Dayton.

  • Chris Furniss

    Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

  • Flying Squid

    “All right, sir. A leprechaun led you here.”
    “Yes, officer. That’s correct. A leprechaun!”
    “Okay, sir, now what about the pants?”
    “The pants?”
    “You’re not wearing any pants.”
    “CURSE YOU MAGICAL IRISH BASTARD!!!”
