A college student walks up to the ten items or less line... Heard on Car Talk... (from memory) A college student walks up to the ten items or less line in a Boston supermarket.... He gets in line with an *enormous* number of items, far more than the 10 permitted. The cashier takes a long look, and asks him, ""So. You must be a student at either Harvard or MIT, right?"" ""Why yes"" he says, ""how did you know?"" ""Well, getting in *this* line with those groceries, you either go to MIT and can't read, or Harvard and can't count.""
