I still submit that "St. Patrick was an Englishman" sounds better.    :P  Besides, this is America. All you blokes look the same to us.

Leave it to a Roman to corrupt the pagan Hibernians  ;/
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
