Lest we forget

[The Flying Cow]

'Greece though conquered took her conqueror captive, and brought in the arts to the uncivilized Latin peoples.' (Horace)

[chalice]

Do you wear a lilly but.

I don't wear a Lilly for much the same reasons, only ridiculously more complicated.

Where I'm from, the type of Lilly you wear denotes your particular affiliation to a (now, hopefully) defunct faction.

If you wear a paper Lilly, and fasten it with a pin, then you symbolise support for the Provisional wing of the IRA. If you wear a Lilly with glue on the back, you're known as a 'Stickie', which is representative of the Official IRA, who were a more Socialistic cell and are known to this days as 'Stickies'.

That's how anally absurd it gets. True story.
