Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they went to the unemplyoment office.
Asked his occupation,the first guy said, "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties."
The clerk looked up panty sticher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay.
The second guy was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter, " he replied.
Since diesel fitters was a skilled job, the clerk gave the second guy $600 a week.
When the first guy found out, he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained: Panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters skilled labor.
"What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher. "I sew the
elastic on. He pulls on it and say, 'yep, diesel
fitter'. "
