Such is human nature， that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of being whitecollar 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.
