Thankfully the rest of the world assumed that the Irish were crazy, a theory that the Irish themselves did nothing to debunk. They had somehow got it into their heads that each fairy lugged around a pot of gold with him wherever he went.

This didn't stop the Irish population in general from skulking around rainbows, hoping to win the supernatural lottery. ↗
