Growing up on Maui, we had the same tradition...about pinching someone twice if we could show them that we were wearing something green... I'm still waiting for someone to come up with the reason for such a tradition ... something to do with leprechauns perhaps? And this thread is really beginning to worry me ... we may have found something to which the collective endeavors and experiences of 8000+ librarians cannot find an answer ... what is this world coming to? Aloha... Earl J. Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 19:23:42 CET From: "Deborah J. Stafford" <<stafford@EMAIL.WIESBADEN.ARMY.MIL> Subject: Re: Pinching on St Patrick's day Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=ISO-8859-1 I have read with interest the thread of pinching on St Pat's day. In Wyoming where I grew up it was definitely a tradition. However, we also had a tradition that said if you pinched someone for not wearing green and they proved that they WERE wearing green they could pinch you twice. We used to hide our green under a shirt or something. I suppose that it is something that will have to go by the wayside, however. Deborah Stafford Gen H.H.
