The leprechaun and the golfer
A golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods. Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer’s ball beside him.
Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.
‘Arrgh! What happened?’ the Leprechaun asked.
'I’m afraid I hit you with my golf ball,’ the golfer says.
'Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?’
'Thank God, you’re all right!’ the golfer answers in relief. 'I don’t want anything, I’m just glad you’re OK, and I apologize.’
And the golfer walks off.
'What a nice guy,’ the Leprechaun says to himself.
I have to do something for him. I’ll give him the three things I would want… a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.’
A year goes by and the golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.
'Twas me that made ye hit the ball here, ’ the little guy says. 'I just want to ask ye, how’s yer golf game?’
'My game is fantastic!’ the golfer answers. 'I’m an internationally famous golfer now.’ He adds, 'By the way, it’s good to see you’re all right.’
'Oh, I’m fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how’s yer money situation?’
'Why, it’s just wonderful!’ the golfer says cheerfully. 'When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100 bills I didn’t even know were there!’
'I did that fer ye also.’ And tell me, how’s yer sex life?’
The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, 'It’s OK.’
'C'mon, c'mon now,’ urged the Leprechaun, 'I’m wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?’
Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers, 'Once, sometimes twice a week.’
'What??’ responds the Leprechaun in shock. 'That’s all? Only once or twice a week?’
'Well,’ says the golfer, 'I figure that’s not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish.’
It's almost that time of year fellas

Me:
So I don’t know if anyone’s written about this yet, but I was trawling through the humans-are-space-orcs tag and I was hit by the sudden realization that I’ve seen nothing about space chefs.
Space chefs must be like one of the most knowledgable professions out there, think about it:
“Alright, so this is a Crexian from Norix- that means capsicum is a deadly poison, Omega-3 will cause muscle spasms and due to the atmosphere on Norix, calcium will give them terrible diarrhea- no wait, this is a male, so Omega-3 is actually delicious–”
“–a Bio-bot, model Gamma-341, so absolutely no organic oils in anything or their systems will stop working, and for Stabby’s sake do not let anything with iron in it so much as look funny at their food–”
“–Mariddian fresh out of hibernation, shove as many protein additives into that meat as you can get away with and remember not to use salt, it fries their neural pathways–”
Like. I bet there’s an Interstellar Chef magazine in circulation full of recipes that are two pages long and then all the species that can and cannot eat it are listed for the next five. And every time a new species joins the intergalactic mess, the magazine runs a special issue as all the space chefs die a little more inside. The special issue gives a brief breakdown of the new species biology and then dives straight into what’s poison, what’s nutritional, what’s considered delicious and whats considered choke-worthy. If at all possible, the special issue also includes recipies from the species native culture while all the space chefs desperately try to figure out what dishes they can jury-rig into a new definition of edible.
They probably love humans though.
“Hey Jaxki, did you hear about the new species that the Crynsu found? They’re supposedly from a Death World, can you belie–”
“Oh fuck another speices?!?! They found three last spin and I’m still trying to figure out what to feed the Hrethad. Any word what they eat? You get the Chef before me.”
“Hold up let me look, I just got it today…void and dust!”
“Oh novas, what, can they not have water or something?”
“Jaxi these fuckers eat everything! They can digest chlorogenic acid! Some of them do it every day, by the void-loving gallon!!! And that’s just the nose of the Quarlag! This thing has a whole list of chemicals these guys consider delicious or edible and I swear to you it’s like someone mixed their list of the universe’s most common compounds with its spacing deadliest poisons!”
“Oh thank FUCK.”
Human: *drops something* oh fuck me! Alien: *blushes* Um I… umm… Human: Oh no no! Sorry! That’s just an expression we say! I don’t want you to actually… ya know *laughs* Alien: *smiles* Phew! I thought you actually wanted me to engage in sexual activities with you which worried me as I find the fleshy and hairless human form to be really quite repulsive. My mistake! Human: …cheers
Bucky: *joining the Avengers for the first time* so, who’s in charge?
Tony: usually whoever shouts the loudest
Alien: Jake, what are you doing? Human: Oh, hey K’van. I’m just petting my cat. A: … what. H: Y’know, my animal companion? They use touch to express affection, so I’m petting her. A: But… is that not a predator of your world? I know of its cousins, and some of them aren’t much larger than that! You wouldn’t pet those, would you? H: First of all, if given the opportunity, and assuming they wouldn’t tear my arm off, I completely would, because I love cats. Second of all, yes, literally everything about Mittens is designed to kill. She has toe pads and a stride that make her virtually silent, whiskers that can detect the slightest movement, and retractable claws and razor sharp teeth. She can also jump, like, at least to my height. Yeah, she’s got at least two ways to kill me if she ever decided to. A: Then why would you ever domesticate a creature like this?! H: Well, we didn’t. A: I’m sorry, what? H: Yeah, they’re genetically and behaviorally identical to their ancestors. They just kinda hung around us because there were lots of rats and mice around our grain stores. A: So, you have essentially wild animals in your homes that don’t hurt you because they tolerate your presence? H: Yeah, pretty much. But they’re pretty affectionate. A: Really. H: Yeah, if we die and can’t feed them, our corpses are their last resort. A: This world is beyond screwed up.
