Dodging Pinches In Your Green Irish Tee Shirts

By Dennis Hollis


Oh, I know you're going out this year to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with your friends. I know you're going to get drunk and have a great time. I also know that you're probably going to forget to wear your green Irish tee shirts and you're going to get a plug pinched out of you. It's not your fault. It's society's fault, because we were taught at an early age that if you don't wear green then you are due for some serious pinch-bruises.

I remember back when I was a young lad being terrorized by pinches one year on March 17th. You see, my family moved to America from Ireland when I was just seven years old. That's right, folks. I am an honest-to-God Ireland immigrant. Luckily, I came when I did and I didn't have to help build the railroads or anything crazy like that. I just had to go to school and listen to the kids make fun of my accent. I had no idea that Americans even celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with green Irish shirts, or anything else for that matter!

You have to understand that all of this Saint Patrick's Day craziness has nothing to do with Ireland. You Americans just took our holiday, injected 5 million gallons of green beer into it, threw a crazy Irish t-shirt on it, and called it by the same name. In Ireland, all we do on St. Patrick's is go to a special church service and eat a whole bunch of roasted chicken and potatoes. You guys even got the corned beef thing wrong.

On my first year of school in America, I made lots of friends. All of that friendship was thrown out the window when I came into the class of St. Patrick's Day with no green on whatsoever. Everyone else was either wearing green or had on Irish pride t-shirts. I guess they were expecting the same out of me, because they punished me to tears for the length of the day. I even called my mom and pretended to be sick so that she would come and get me. Kids can be the meanest people in the world when they turn against you like that.

That's why I'm asking you to be prepared, friends. From all of my past experiences, drunk people are a lot like kids in the 2nd grade. They cane be cruel and they like to team up on people. This means that if you get pinched once, you're going to get pinched lots of time by lots of people. It will probably ruin your night. There are lots of places on the Internet where you can buy cheap Irish tees, so get one now and save yourself some embarrassing tears.
