Can you believe it

Did you go to university? Well watch out! There is health warning! It could count against your children if they want to go to university! Ucas, the University and Colleges Admission Service is putting this question on application forms as part of their drive to get more applicants from working class families into higher education. Imagine the scenario:
Interviewer: Did your parents go to university?
Applicant: Yes
Int.: Tough, have a nice day. Next applicant please.
App.: But you went to university yourself.
Int.: I know, but that's the way of it.
App.: But...
Int.: No buts - it's all there in the rules!
App.: You wait till I tell Mum about this!
Int.: Tell her and I'm a dead man.
App.: Well. just face it, Dad, look what will happen if we don't tell her!!
