At a traffic stop…
Lady Cop: Ever been convicted before?
Leprechaun: I did three years for burying a bone.
Lady Cop: Where did you bury it?
Leprechaun: In your sister.
Lady cop: All right! That’s it! Come with me!
Leprechaun: That’s exactly what your sister said.
Leprechaun, later in the hospital: Worth it.
Maybe he won’t sleep with my sister if I “sleep” with her first!
Well done change from the original. Her expression of rueful expectation is priceless.
