Well, I didn’t do as good as I expected, but better than most others I’ve played lately.

I didn’t expect Billy Graham to be tops on #10, as he didn’t ask for money during his crusades, and money is what I associate with folks like Roberts, Bakker, Swaggart, et al. But he was on TV, and he was an evangelist.
