Snakes, nuns, Satan worshippers, no one does St. Paddy like San Francisco:
It’s said that St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made them invisible to leprechauns, who would pinch anyone they could see (anyone not wearing green). People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch those not sporting the color.
Go green.
Avoid those leprechauns.
