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."
