Pull the dwarf's boxer shorts down and win booze that's the Hillcrest Tavern's latest orientation week gag for Hamilton students.
Tonight, girls get the chance to wrestle pint-sized pub entertainer Andrew Roigard in an inflatable paddling pool full of jelly.
They've got three minutes to try to whip the 1.3m man's boxers off. Fear not, he's wearing Speedos underneath.
Roigard, 63 kg, a 40-year-old Tauranga engineer, said the event was "risque but not rude", and wasn't exploitive of little people.
"This is just something I want to do and it's not hurting anyone," he said. "I'm an entertainer and this is a job."
Tavern manager Shane Thomas said the wacky-wrestling event had proved a hit at Mt Maunganui where it was trialled. "The girls loved it. They were queueing up to fight him. It's just the novelty of the little fella I guess," Mr Thomas said.
The boys can't wrestle Roigard, but they can toss him down a polythene mat in an event called leprechaun curling. Roigard is smothered in cooking oil and the team that can get his belly button closest to a bullseye wins.

If having chicks pay cash to roll around in Jello and try to pull your pants off is exploitation...

In Lord Of The Rings 1 & 2, the dwarf make reference to "Dwarf Tossing". Just a little trivia for Sunday morning.
