  When I worked at Mega Big Engineering Corp, HR got themselves on of those 
fancy resume scanners. After a few months using it,  one of them casually 
announced to me that they were surprised how many IT applicants, according 
to the scanning system,  all went to the same college. I asked, what college 
was that? They told me,  a great number of them seemed to have gone to the 
University of Nix.  U. NIX.

  I interviewed at a place that was looking for 5 years of VMS experience. 
In 1980.
