    Reminds me of a story, possibly apocryphal but plausible, of a small
town in Ontario with a mixed Irish population, and hence both an Orange
Lodge and a St. Patrick's Society or whatever.  Only thing was, there
weren't enough of either to put on a really decent parade, so on St.
Patrick's Day the Orangemen came out to swell the ranks of marchers and
musicians, and on the Twelfth the Catholics returned the favor and joined
the Orangemen's parade.
