“Witnesses reported seeing an extremely fair blond man, about six feet tall, with hair almost down to his butt and pointy ears.” She rolled her eyes. “Oh, for God’s sake, Hank. That’s not a leprechaun sighting. That’s an escapee from a Lord of the Rings convention.

Bloody damn difficult to keep housekeepers as it is. The last thing I would do is poison one."
