"Everybody Is Irish on Saint Patrick's Day" Is the Only Acceptable Cultural Appropriation Apparently

A boss is tied up to a chair. "It was my hope that you'd all accept my 'No bonus, no overtime pay, one-week vacation, or else' ultimatum in better spirit!" while four employees are giving the boss a hot foot, pouring water on his head, smoking(?!) and about to detonate dynamite tied to his leg.

You know, if a boss offered this kind of ultimatum now, it would be accepted. One week of vacation? Hot damn!

I am a bit confused with what the woman is doing. Smoking? Does the boss not like cigarette smoke? I get it. But I am concerned about the guy with the dynamite plunger. Won't that kill you all?

Wilberforce is sitting on the ottoman while Brutus is sitting in his green chair. "Hurricane Hattie O'Hara is so lucky to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I wish I was Irish," Wilberforce bemoans. "Let me tell you a secret...Everyone is Irish on Saint Paddy's Day, my boy," Brutus exclaims. "Just put on a green shirt, walk into any gathering of Irish people, say 'Erin Go Braugh!' and you'll be welcomed with open arms!"
Yeah, I'm not gonna do any of that. I feel this would just give the Irish an excuse to punch me.
