Do chaotic gawds have paladins?

I cannot imagine that Olidammara, a chaotic neutral gawd of wine, women and song, a consummate prankster, would appreciate paladins of his faith acting in a lawful manner. Just doesn't make sense.
Unless the Paladins are a means to his end: Followers who revel in wine, women, song, and pranks would probably have FREQUENT need for investigators on their side to determine what really happened the night before the authorities came calling to wake them up and arrest them. So the church calls some of the more lawful "hangers-on" - people who WANT to party and revel, but can't, because they're just too darned lawful (I'm sure you know the type) - to be Paladins and investigators for the church. They get to sit more comfortably as wallflowers at parties, maybe even - ironically - become more popular due to telling their stories and the fact that chain-mail is chick-magnetic ;), and the church gets their services.

Or in other words, for churchs of other alignments - Those who can, do. Those who can't, get to be Paladins. :lol:
