U of Arizona Druids were a joke on the administration.  Mind you, a
fairly successful joke.  When it got up to 20% of the students
claiming their religion was some silly variation of a pagan religion
the administration had to quit asking. The religious makeup of the
university was reported to some organization of universities and 20%
pagans was not acceptable to the statistic keepers.

Other people's money is filthy lucre you understand.  All mine is clean lucre, even if the term "clean lucre" just somehow feels like it is fighting itself.

Hmm.
