Green With Envy?
It won't be long before Saint Patrick's Day is here! I remember wearing green
on St. Patrick's Day when I was growing up so as not to get pinched. Why do
people DO that anyway? Some say that it started back in the 1700's. If you wear
green, you'll be invisible to Leprechauns (a mischievous elf) and a pinch was a
warning. Some say pinching gives you a bruise so you'll have green on you! Who
knows! It turns out, it is an American made tradition.
Soon the Chicago River will be dyed green, and green dyed beer will also be
flowing amongst many pubs! I heard that drinking dark beer may be as effective
as daily aspirin by reducing the blood clots that cause heart attacks due to the
antioxidants that lower cholesterol deposits on artery walls.
The tradition of drinking on Saint Patrick's Day is an old Irish legend called
Pota Phadraig or Patrick's Pot. It is as "drowning the shamrock" because it is
customary to float a shamrock leaf in your whiskey before downing it.
St. Patrick was served a shot of whiskey that was much less than full. St.
Patrick wanted to teach the innkeeper a lesson about generosity, so he told him
that a monstrous devil resided in his cellar who fed on the dishonesty of the
innkeeper. In order to banish the devil, he has to change his ways.
When St. Patrick came back days later, he saw that the owner was generously
overflowing the customers' drinks. He went to the basement with the innkeeper
and found the devil wasted away from the landlord's generosity. He therefore
quickly expelled the demon, stating that now thereafter everybody should have a
drop of the "hard stuff" on his feast day. Well, alrighty then!
There are going to be St. Patty's Day parades and pub gatherings everywhere.
Now's the time to make sure you have some sort of self defense tool on you at
all times because you simply never know when you may need it. The perfect item
to have is a cell phone stun gun like a
Stun Master Cell Phone Stun Gun or a
Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun.
They are a great means of protection as you can put it on your side and nobody
will ever know it is a stun gun! When you show all your friends, they will be
"Green" with envy!
