Garrison Keillor (of A_Prairie_Home_Companion) tells a story of one of a
pair of Ancient Languages teachers at a college.  Due to a loss of
departmental funding, plus a steady decline in popularity in old tongues
("Ancient Languages is a dead subject") he was laid off.
His collegue, who still had his job, turned to him and said
"Oh well - E Pluribus Unum".
