Fit the Fifth, in Which Gibbs Warns of Leprechaun Infestations and the Proper Precautions of Preventing Said Infestations
Attention Students and Staff:
We have now entered into the blustery month of March, and we all know what that means: leprechauns. The Feast of Saint Patrick seems to draw 'em from every hidey hole, magic well, limestone cave, et cetera et cetera, and to prevent a veritable plague of wee little green men here at the Academy there's some guidelines I'd like to cotton you all onto.
First off: No four-leaf clovers. Alternatively? Keep 'em sealed in an airtight sea chest, preferably lead-lined. They can smell 'em a mile away.
Secondses: Keep an eye on your gold, and if at all possible don't go wearin' the green.
Thirdly, and this should be common sense: don't go steppin' into any fairy rings! It's not that I don't want you to dance, children, but mushroom dust is uncommonly stubborn once it stains the carpets. If you track it everywhere, well--Joshamee Gibbs won't be held responsible for the clean carpets no longer. Only so much swabbing one sailor can do.
That's all; I'll be settin' out some traps today, just as a precaution, like.
