The comic strip by a Canadian. There was one strip published around St. Patrick's Day that made me wince. There was a party and someone asked, "What did St.Patrick ever do for Ireland?"
"He rid it of snakes," came the first reply.
"What else did he do?"
"He brought Christianity to Ireland."
"What else?"
"Isn't that enough?"
. . . respective silence . . .
