The Central Square McDonald's

John Q. Nerd gets his Master's Degree from the MIT Laboratory for Computer
Science here in Technology Square and spends two months looking for a job.
Unfortunately, DEC is laying people off and Wang went bankrupt.  He's
running low on rent money so he decides to work in the Central Square
McDonald's on weekends and look for a job during the week. 

After John hands in an employment application, the manager tells that he
isn't qualified.  "Not qualified!?!  I've got a Master's degree in computer
science from MIT!" says John.  The McDonald's manager replies, "I'm sorry,
but all of our computer scientists have PhDs."
