Best Leprechaun Jokes

A man went golfing and found himself in a terrible quandary after hitting his ball into the woods. Just as he was about to give up the search, a leprechaun appeared and said, “I’ll get your ball on one condition – you must marry one of my three beautiful daughters.”
The man quickly agreed and the leprechaun pointed out three women of exceptional beauty, a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. “In order to get your ball back,” the leprechaun said, “you must say ‘I do’ to one of them.”
The man weighed his options and chose the brunette. The happy couple were quickly married and the leprechaun handed over the golf ball. As the newlyweds headed off on their honeymoon, the man said “I know I should be happy, but I’m still sad because I had to turn down the redhead and the blonde.” At this the brunette ripped off her mask, revealing that she was in fact the redhead, and she quickly ripped off her red wig, revealing that she was the blonde as well. “You fool!” she shouted. “I’m no brunette, redhead OR blonde – I’m the leprechaun, and now your ball is mine forever!”

O’Reilly was making his way home from the pub when he suddenly heard a cry coming from a nearby graveyard. As he got closer, the cry grew louder and louder until O’Reilly finally located the source – a frightened leprechaun stuck neck-deep in the earth beside an empty grave.

In a flash, the leprechaun transformed into a vision of loveliness. Caught up in the moment, O’Reilly made his final wish that the woman return to his place for a night of passion. No sooner than the words left his mouth, however, O’Reilly realized the grave error he had made.
