"But Barry ... I'm not even Irish."

Hal thinks a second.

"Well, I might be. Dad never talked about it much and Mom was too apple pie and Fourth of July to consider anything before 1776 ... but that's beside the point. It's the principle of the thing. And ... yes, I did it once. Led the parade. It was all well and good until I saw Ollie on the sidelines, trying to instigate a small scale student protest, something about the pollution caused by the floats or the dangers of unlicensen baton twirling. I think I still owe him a payback for that one ..."

Hal looks at Barry and grins.

"You know ... you think you're safe, but in the right light, you could pass for Cupid. Or throw on a beard and you're the fastest Santa Claus on the planet!"
