I thought St.Patrick drove the slaves out of Ireland.

"Snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes?" -- Indiana Jones.

Legend says St. Pat drove the snakes out of Ireland. I wish someone would drive the snakes out of DC.

"Snakes" (the serpent, i.e. Satan). But you're probably being sarcastic.

Considering Patrick's own youth as a captive and slave of Irish pagans this idea is ludicrous and highly offensive. And broaching it today indicates some people don't value their teeth or their knee caps much.
