[net.college] lost skills and specialization

An old joke is told about a bookstore in Massachusetts that had an  express
checkout  counter.  A  sign  posted  in  front of the counter clearly said:
"Express checkout.  Ten items or less." One day a student  arrived  at  the
counter  with about 15 books in his arms.  At this the clerk remarked, "Are
you from Havard and can't count or from MIT and can't read?"

Sorry if this belongs in net.jokes.  It seemed to fit the discussion here.
