Stephen Colbert Likens Quakers to a City Bus: Launches #QuakerBuses Meme

Posted on April 4, 2011 by

I am way behind on this meme, but apparently on a recent episode of "The Stephen Cobert Report," fake news anchorman Cobert was discussing "the best" religions with comparative religions professor Stephen Prothero. At one point, Prof. Prothero describes how Quaker Meeting for Worship is full of a bunch of people sitting together in silence, which Cobert likens to being on a city bus.

In response, Quakers have been joking on Twitter about how Quakers are / are not like a "city bus" using the hashtag #QuakerBuses. Some of the best ones:

Quakerbuses tweet 1

Quakerbuses tweet 2

Quakerbuses tweet 3

Quakerbuses tweet 4

Sorry, these are probably only funny if you are a Quaker.
