Hmm I work at a University where the Dean of arts and Letters (With a Phd)
and his wife (Also a PhD) are both Baptist, in fact he is a Baptist Deacon. 
Oh, and one of the professors of Business Information Mgt (With a PhD) is an
ordained Baptist Minister.  Lets also not forget the head of the Physical
Sciences department (PhD in Nuclear Physics) is also a Baptist.

They will all be really suprised when they see that they are less than "lower
-class"
