[Non-Sequitur]

So let me see if I have this right. St. Patrick's Day is a holiday for a man who was not named Patrick, who was not born in Ireland, who did not drive the snakes out of Ireland, who did not bring Catholicism to Ireland, and who was not born on March 17th. Does it have a purpose other than an excuse for excessive drinking?

an excuse for excessive drinking?

Who needs an excuse?

Works for me.

You shouldn't be stereotyping, sir. You see, St. Patrick did bring Catholicism to Ireland, and supposedly he died on March 17th, thus we have used this day to honor him. Maybe you should readup more on it.
