A couple of years ago, I was in a restaurant seated in the next booth to a loud business-type woman with a cell phone who never shut up the whole time we were there. But...

She was telling someone (who apparently disagreed) that he/she would have to learn to write grants because professional grant writers take about 50% of the grant money as their fee. I don't understand this, as I understand that you usually have to account for all the money on your project.

Just overheard it, never verified it.
