I'm not wearing green. I've been asked several times. Nobody has offered to pinch me yet.

No but I've been drunk since 5am so I think I'll be ok

I told her no and she said "are you trying to get pinched today, mister?"

I know this isn't why the thread was posted, but the historical background behind 'getting pinched for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day':

In the 1840s, a bunch of anti-Catholic riots broke out in the US. After one of the riots in 1844, the bishop of New York City, John Hughes, got fed up with this shite and put armed guards outside of his churches. He mainly drew his guards from the newly formed Ancient Order of Hibernians, who wore green regalia. At the next riot, the churches in New York were protected and the mobs were beaten back. Bishop Hughes then walked to the mayor's office and told the mayor, who was sympathetic to the mob, that if another riot occurred 'if a single Catholic Church were burned in New York, the city would become a second Moscow' (referencing the burning of the city during the Napoleonic Wars). Bishop Hughes, who would later become Archbishop, would be nicknamed 'Dagger' and is still honoured by the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

Now, however, if you ask someone about the pinching, they'll tell you some bullshite about leprechauns.

Not trying to be offensive, but do grown men still wear pajamas to bed?
