People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers' for the simple
reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great
many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar
workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked
as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply
told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black
suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning
home at night. He took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and
his fellow dustmen kept his secret Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and
she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be
earning only as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of
money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.
