What? Not a Deveel? (I think that's the right spelling...)
They'd be second bet from that grouping, right after the Perverts, er, Pervects.

What was it Hawkeye Pierce said? "I don't understand a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to confuse me."

Sorry 'bout that - half an hour of sleep in the last couple of days, and entirely too much caffeine. I'll be carting myself off to sleep now, before I do something /really/ stupid and get myself kicked off the forum.

Hmmm...not a Ferengi. A Ferengi would say "This coin is one of the rarest misprints at the mint. Somebody replaced the latinum with Douglas Fir, probably pocketed the latinum himself. But this...genuine Douglas Fir credit chip...is worth tens of thousands on the auction market."

Actually, the above makes a lot of sense for a school named DSM. This is a perfect saying for a Salusian. Salusians are known for business dealings (IIRC, the NHS canon sends Asrial to Earth to open trade relations), but the average Salusian company has more value-add and less swindling than a Ferengi operation. "Trade to live, not live to trade" and all that.

True, but as school mottos go, it sounds like it was put down by Derek Bacon, or someone else with a similar sense of humour...

While ideas from Derek Bacon may not be bad, per se, they may not necessarily turn out to be all that good either. ^_^;
