Sven and Ole worked together and both were laid off, so off they went to
the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty stitcher.
I sew the elastic onto cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty
stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor, she gave him $300 a week
unemployment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter," he replied. Since diesel
fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.
When Ole found out he was furious. He stormed back in to the office to
find out why his friend and coworker was collecting double his pay. The
clerk explained: Panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were
skilled labor.
"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on the panties, Sven pulls
them down on his head and says, ’Yah, diesel fitter
