They ask me "why aren't you wearing any green today?" I tell them because I am not Irish.
And of course my favorite line:
What is a mile long and has an IQ of 40?
The Saint Patrick's Day Parade.

The disproportionate reverence for St Patrick's day has always baffled me. An unusual amount of devotion for a Romano-British slave trader. Presumably it's an excuse to drink more, or different coloured beverages? Dunno.
A-nis bidh fios aig daoine nuair a tha mi a 'mionnachadh aig dhaibh.

Here in the U.S., it's exactly that.

My sister-in-law just got engaged during the local St. Patrick's Day march. The then-boyfriend made arrangements with the parade officials, and let the families know ahead of time with the details. It was pretty cool, actually.
My understanding was that St. Patrick was a runaway slave returned to evangelize the Emerald Isle (and chase away the snakes). I wasn't aware that he had been a slave trader, himself. Either way, the celebration is much overdone.
