hese days, people who do manual workoften receive far more money than clerkswho work in offices. People who work inoffices are frequently referred to as' whitecollar workers' for the simple reason thatthey usually wear a collar and tie to go towork. Such is human nature, that a greatmany people are often willing to sacrificehigher pay for the privilege of becomingwhite collar workers. This can give rise tocurious situations, as it did in the case ofAlfred 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 fine blacksuit. 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 as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half 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'.对不对?
