The T-shrit looks great Gal and the size is great. Thank you so much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey, don't knock my Irish lesson. It has taken me this long to learn just that
much. Remember I am not a linguist like you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I love your Irish joke. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And we can't leave Ireland without mentioning the Leprechaun. Ube, Hap have you
found that Leprechaun yet? Jurak, I know you've seen him, but I am talking about
the real thinging not the one you might run into after a few to many drinks
at the pub. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

According to popular belief, a leprechaun possesses a treasure (usually a pot of
gold) which a human may obtain if he succeeds in capturing one, which is extremely
difficult. Even after capture, a person may not take his eyes off of him for an
instant, for then he will vanish.

An Old Irish Story

The Leprechauns had ceased work and were looking at the fairie children.

"God bless the work," one of the tiny faeries said politely.

One of the Leprechauns who had a grey, puckered face and a thin fringe of grey
whisker very far under his chin, spoke.

"Come over here, Seumas Beg," said he, "and I'll measure you for a pair of
shoes. Put your foot up here."

The faerie child did so and the Leprechaun took the measure of his foot with a
wooden rule.

"Now, Brigid Beg, show me your foot," and he measured her also. "They'll be
ready for you in the morning."

"Do you never do anything else but make shoes, sir?" asked Seumas.

"We do not," replied the Leprechaun, "except when we want new clothes, an then
we have to make them, but we grudge every minute spent making anything else
except shoes, because that is the proper work for a Leprechaun. In the night
time we go about the country into people's houses and we clip little pieces off
their money, and so, bit by bit, we get a crock of gold so that if he's captured
by men folk he may be able to ransom himself. But that seldom happens, because
it's a great disgrace altogether to be captured by a man, and we've practiced so
long dodging among the roots here that we can easily get away from them. Of
course, now and again we are caught; but men are fools, and we always escape
without having to pay the ransom at all. We wear green clothes because it is
the color of the grass and the leaves, and when we sit down under a bush or lie
in the grass they just walk by without noticing us."
