Paschal and Kitson were the closest of friends, until one day, for some reason or other, they became mortal enemies. Yes, they hated each other with a passion. Everyone has a good friend, and everyone has someone they don’t like. No so with Paschal and Kitson now, they hated each other so much.

Paschal went to a leprechaun one day and the leprechaun said, “Paschal, I am going to grant you three wishes. But first, I want you to remember that your worst enemy, Kitson, is going to receive double whatever you ask for.

“Oh, me Lord, I wish I had a million dollars.” Paschal became an instant millionaire by hitting the jackpot on the Wheel of Fortune machine at that Terrible Casino in Pahrump.

A few days later, Paschal met Kitson at the Chicken Ranch, who with Robin, were doing an essay on the goings on at establishments like the Chicken Ranch. Kitson said with a grin, “A-ha, Paschal, I won two million dollars on the lottery a few days ago, did you know?”

Paschal was green with envy. The next day Paschal went back to the leprechaun for his second wish.

“What would you like for your second wish, Paschal?” the leprechaun asked.

“I would love to have a beautiful blonde come into my life,” Paschal replied. And a beautiful blonde walked into Paschal’s life.

The next day, Paschal saw Kitson at Our Bar with two beautiful blondes, and Paschal became even more envious. At the bar, Kitson said with a grin of laughter, “Yeah, they are twin sisters and they took me home last night and, oh my God, you wouldn’t believe what they did to me!”

Paschal was ready to explode with anger and went back to the leprechaun for his third wish.

“Now, this is going to be your last wish, Paschal, what is it going to be?”

Paschal nervously replied, “I’d like to ask a question before you give me my last wish. How painful is the removal of one testicle?”
