Ellis, please, please, please tell me that you're joking, or that the lecturer in question was joking. Because I'm visiting family right now, and I don't think that my parents have any Scotch in the house, and I can't take a statement like that sober.
And please, please, please, please at least tell me that at least my tax dollars weren't underwriting that grant...
