[rec.humor.funny] at a Cambridge checkout counter

psrc@pegasus.UUCP (06/16/89)

(I heard this from an MIT grad, who says it's a classic).

A student pushes a loaded shopping cart up to the express checkout
lane at a Cambridge grocery store.  The cashier looks at the cart,
looks at the student, looks at the "EXPRESS -- EIGHT ITEMS OR LESS"
sign, and says to the student, "Are you from Harvard, where they
don't know how to count?  Or MIT, where they don't know how to read?"
