Well....as my brother Michel Andruschak will confirm, we were asked by
our Mother and maternal Grandmother to wear orange on 17 March. The
Catholic catechism makes a big deal of obediance to our parents. But
nowhere, in the catechism or elsewhere, does it mention what color to
wear or not wear on 17 March.

In any case, the result of wearing Orange to work was nill. At the
Post Office, minorities are in the majority, and most have only a
vague idea about wearing green on 17 March, and have no idea
whatsoever what the orange is about. Clueless. This includes Blacks,
Hispanics, and Asians.

As for the real minority, whites of European descent, they know
something about wearing green on 17 March, but are also mostly
ignorant of what wearing orange means.
