We have the occasional meetings of the Gideons (I might be spelling that wrong) - the people who are responsible for the bibles in pretty much every hotel room. For the most part, they are older folks and seem eager to get the meetings over with as quickly as possible. It often seems to me that it's a group of people that really can't stand each other. If you watch the eyes, they look at each other askance, even when they're smiling and talking about God.
I've never seen a more quiet, more stern, more unhappy group. Perhaps it's because deep down they know that, in the same drawer where they leave the bible, people leave condoms, guns and knives - I even found a porn tape in one once, someone was being funny and put it inside the bible.
