Nah, I'm no good at making up stuff like this. My friend told me the riddle. The neatness/messyness of the shops was just meant to make you feel that the man would go to the neater shop. I mean, when you go get a haircut, wouldn't you rather go to a nice clean shop, rather a crummy one with hair all over the floor?
