At the USDA Graduate School's Introduction to Macroeconomics Class:

All students are asked to introduce themselves.

Twenty-something: "My name is [removed], I work for Senator [X], and we are doing a lot of work on the Farm Bill... so I really look forward to taking this course."

Fellow student whispers to another classmate, "I'm so happy to hear that the people working on the Farm Bill are taking Intro to Macro classes."
