The System
A commercial traveller, visiting a larger business office, jokingly boasted to the manager that he could pick out all the married men among the employees. He was challenged, and so he proceeded to demonstrate. He stationed himself at the door as the employees returned from the noon luncheon hour, and designated those whom he believed to be married. In almost every instance he proved to be right. 4 'How do you know!” asked the manager in amazement, after the experiment. The answer was simple. "The married men wipe their shoes on the mat; the single men don’t.”
