MM>"St Patrick save us", gasped the barman, "How did THAT
happen ?"

MM>"Dunno !", the frog croaked, "It all started out as
this wee itch
MM>on me bum".

An American comes back from a trip to Ireland, and walks into a bar with
a pet carrier.

"No animals in here!" says the bartender.

"It's not an animal," say he, as he reaches into the pet carrier, takes
out a little piano, then a little man in a tux, about a foot tall.  The
little man flips up his tails, and sits down and starts to play.
Everyone comes over, and for half an hour the little man gives a
concert.

Finally the guy puts him back in the box.

"Where'd you get him?"

"In Ireland.  I spotted something moving in the bushes, and grabbed it.
Save us if it wasn't a Leprechaun!!  And he says to me, 'Let me go, yez
big spalpeen, and I'll grant yez one wish.'"

Everyone was agog.  "So THAT's what you wished for?"

"Not exactly -- I guess the Leprechaun couldn't understand my American
accent, and I would up with a 12-inch pianist."
