Well of course it sounds fishy, there are fish there ya know!
Ya me too, I swear this happens to me every year, too bad it wasn't totally green. People were calling it brownish green, and people still pinched me because my coat was over it. There was this one guy though that wore the funniest shirt ever, it was black with green words on the front saying: PINCH ME AND I'LL KICK YOUR LEPRACHAN ASS
Thing is though, if you're still pinching people you need to grow up, (unless you're Irish) it's just plain immature.
