Jokes Home : Work : Theory And Practice
Mark Twain said that when he was a young man he was impressed by the story of a fellow who landed a job when a manager saw him pick up several pins from the sidewalk outside the firm's office.
The manager was so impressed with the man's thrift and diligence that he gave him an interview right then and there.
So Twain went to the street alongside the office windows of a firm he wanted to work for and began almost ostentatiously to pick up pins he had earlier placed on the sidewalk.
After a good number of pins had been picked up, a clerk came out and said, "The boss asked me to tell you to move along. Your idiotic behavior is distracting the people working in the office."
