An eager young man entered his prospective boss’s cabin for an interview.
Said the boss “One thing our company is very particular about is cleanliness. I hope you wiped your shoes on the doormat while coming in?”
“Yes, sir,” the young man replied promptly.
Back came the rejoinder, “One more thing we’re very particular about is honesty. There is no doormat outside!”
