The following conversation allegedly took place at a well-known university between a highly regarded lecturer and a student.

Student: Please don't fail me. My parents spend all their time and energy to get me here. They pressure me to do well in school. If I go home with a failing grade, my parents will kill me.

Lecturer: Tell your parents to f*ck themselves.

Student: I can't tell that to my parents. It's not polite to do so in the society where I come from.

Lecturer: Okay. Tell your parents to f*ck themselves politely.
