This answer goes out to you and others that might have questions about St. Patrick. I am not an expert just pass on what I learned.
Saint Patrick alias, Patricius a young man from Rome Briton died an Irishman. He was captured in a raid at a young age and enslaved and sold in Ireland. He escaped several years later but returned no long afterward as a result of religious visions and dreams he had to convert the Irish to Christianity. He fulfilled that goal and is credit with saving the entire Irish civilization. He became a "big man on campus" and soon the Pope himself was compelled to recognize him the first Bishop of Ireland. Snakes!! Something lost in translations over the centuries. It could mean converting the primitive Irish people or excommunicating many refusing or not accepting Christianity such as Coroticus an Irish warlord. We know he live around the fifth century but know little of his birth or death.
However, St. Patrick is credit with developing Ireland and its people into what they are today.
Amazing fact is the U.S. is the world's largest celebrators of St. Patrick's Day than any other country INCLUDING IRELAND!!

this relies upon on the article of the humor, and the type of humor... 30 years in the past they have been customarily Polish jokes as a results of Knights in armor on horseback and Lance struggling with German Panzer tanks in the early days of international conflict 2... There are various varieties of humor... i'm able to relish all of them in the event that they don't seem for use to belittle by biggots... and countless of the main biggoted of jokes have been advised to me by those the shaggy dog tale is meant to belittle... A working occasion.... A lovable little shaggy dog tale... do you comprehend why the precious Lord made the "Shetland Pony"? So Mexican Cowboys might have a LOWRIDER!!! This shaggy dog tale replaced into shared with me by a Mexican Cowboy, who advised me on the time that it replaced into by some distance the cutiest biggioted shaggy dog tale he had ever herd! ME! .

Same way i chased the Duck Billed Platypy out of Ireland.
To go into Nerd mode for a min:
It is believed the actual meaning of the snakes is the Druids (Who he ran out of here like a pub landlord at closing time), to who the snake was one of the many symbols of their religion, a fact that got muddled up in history/Translation.

Its a myth... but the image of a snake was used by pagans so it could be symbolic of chasing paganism out of Ireland.

There was never any snakes in Ireland it is sheer nonsense, it was his way of trying to overcome the pagan people.

Actually, they were talking about the two legged kind who went to America and joined the DNC(Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Tip O'Neal, etc.). Unfortunately, you can't drive the Irish out of the snakes.
