"Do you all have different books in the Bible than I do? Are you all Gideons? Who are the fucking Gideons? Ever met one, no! Ever seen one, no! But they're all over the fucking world, putting Bibles in hotel rooms! Every one of them: 'This Bible was placed here by a Gideon.' When? I've been here all day and I ain't seen shit! I saw the housekeeper come and go, I saw the minibar guy come and go, I've never laid eyes on a fucking Gideon! What are they, ninjas? Where are they? Where are they from? Gidea? Who the fuck are these people?!
"I'm gonna capture a Gideon. Yeah, I'm gonna make that my hobby. I'll call up the front desk one day and say, 'Uh, I don't seem to have a Bible in my room.'"
I believe I first heard this on the 'Salvation' comedy album, in Oxford, England in Nov. of 1992, I believe. Bill Hicks is a hero. His insights into religion and how people act on their religious beliefs is something I can relate to. He had a religious fervor quality in parts of his act but he never understood the inherently logical nature of basing everything you believe on mythology. Anyways, nice reference; Thumbs up!

The Gideons have distributed 1.5 billion Bibles since 1908. The colors of the covers represent the different groups for whom the Bibles are targeted. Strangely, I don't see hotel room visitors on the list.
