Regolith - he was making a joke.
Not a joke, but interesting Savannah tidbit. When James Oglethorpe established Savannah, he constructed the town around four central squares and four tenets: No lawyers, no slaves, no papists, and no liquor. Liquor was the first of these to fall off the bandwagon. Incidentally, the thing with Catholics had nothing to do with the religion, but Spanish spies were Catholic, so easier to just ban all Catholics.
Ironically, the town now has a huge population of Irish. Which are both Catholics and drinkers. Everyone still hates lawyers though.
