He’d charge you a pot of gold in interest!
Because they’re always a little short.
The joke “Why can’t you borrow money from a leprechaun? Because they’re always a little short” plays on a double entendre involving the word “short.” Leprechauns, according to Irish folklore, are depicted as tiny, elf-like creatures, making them physically “short.” The term “short” can also refer to a lack of something, especially money. When someone says they’re “a little short,” they mean they don’t have enough money.
