They'd given me a large grant when I was an academician for the study of felony drunken drivers, and I thought I had a pretty good track record, and by the time I had spent half an hour talking about play, it was obvious that they were not -- did not feel that play was serious.
Mi avevano dato molti fondi quando ero un accademico per lo studio sugli incidenti automibilistici da eccesso di alcool, e ho pensato che avevo fatto un'ottimo lavoro. Avevo già passato mezz'ora a parlare di gioco, era ovvio che non percepivano il gioco come un argomento serio.
