Funny, I went to a Quaker college and never saw any evidence of irrational religiosity.
I'm sure you are right. My reference was to a game we used to play when I was a child (long long ago) called "Quakers meeting." I'm sure everyone under fifty misunderstood my allusion.
The game began with someone saying, "Quaker meeting has begun, no more laughing, no more fun, if you show your teeth or tongue, you shall pay a forfeit."
It was the, "no more laughing, no more fun," part I was referring to.
