Some Quakers are FINE.

You gotta dig the Quakers. They're all about openmindedness and pacifism. I've had a few Quaker friends. Good people. Oddly, they were all into very hard living. I guess they were reform Quakers. One of them takes more prescription psychoactive meds than the average Hollywood agent. When he stays with his folks, they make him get up at sunrise (its considered bad form to sleep late amongst them), but his family doesn't seem to mind his liberal alcohol habit. In fact, they have a killer bar, and they drink copious amounts of scotch nightly. Sounds to me like my friends who are super-reform Jews or lapsed Catholics ("show up at services when you feel like it..."). Quaker weddings are a bit unusual too. Everyone who feels like it can address the meeting house and tell a story about the couple.
I should be a Quaker. I'm basically a deist anyway...
