Andeliza Tucker,18, of the UK, was arrested and taken to trial for calling her Irish neighbor a "******* leprechaun." Apparently, the law suspected her of "racial abuse." (Last year, an Irishman was given a suspended jail term for calling a Welsh woman, an "English bitch'.... gasp!). Andeliza claimed that she had simply been talking to her sister about leprechauns after seeing one featured in a movieshe'd been watching. The prosecution alleged that Andeliza was referring to the leprechaun as an Irish symbol, concluding with a reference to the leprechaun's penchant for hoarding treasure. Common sense prevailed and the case was dismissed. [Daily Mail]
