A beautiful woman was hosting a party for recent college graduates from across the country. She is walking amongst the guests, then suddenly turns to one and says, "You're a Caltech graduate, aren't you?" "That's right," he says, a little surprised. "How'd you know?" "Well, I could tell just by looking at you how intelligent you were -- something in the eyes, I guess." He's flattered, and they talk for a while, then she goes back to circulating. After a while, she buttonholes another man and says, "I bet you're a Harvard man." "Yeah, how'd you guess?" he asks. "Easy: I saw by the way you held yourself that you were very suave and self-assured." They chat for a little while, and she resumes walking around. She comes up to a third guest and says, "Hey, you're from MIT, right?" "I am," he answers her. Having overheard the other two conversations, he eagerly says, "How could you tell? Did I look smart, or confident, or handsome or something?" "No," she says. "I saw your class ring when you were picking your nose." ------------------ Source: unknown Internet hero (presumably a Harvard or CalTech grad)
