A Voyage in the East

I have to admit to not being there, but yesterday's lecture was apparently the most stirring, thought provoking, and challenging lecture ever given by a university professor in the history of academia. The prof, who couldn't speak English or French, read the Chinese Labor Act section-by-section.
Today's prof was not much better, he had such a strong accent and mangled sentence structure that many of us thought that he was talking about the agonies of going to the dentist.
