ACM Fireside chat -- the food

I love Indian food and rarely get to eat it because my wife does not love it as I do. The food served at the ACM fireside chat was great, but there was not enough of it. Perhaps the following conversation between me and an attendee behind me in the food line could explain why.


Me
So, what classes are you taking this semester?
Student
Oh you know, some CS classes
Me
Which ones are you taking now?
Student
Oh, some programming course, some CS stuff
Me
My name's Ron and I teach here, so I know the courses; if you tell me the course number I'll have a better idea of what you're taking.
Student
Some CS stuff
Me
You're not really in computer science are you? You're just here for the food, right?
Student
Right. You know, some CS stuff.
