Sven and Ole worked together and both were laid off, so off they went together to the employment office. Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty-stitcher, I sew da elastic on da cotton panties."
The clerk looked up panty-stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor, she gave him $300.00 a week unemployment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter," he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600.00 a week.
When Ole found out, he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained, "You see, panty-stitchers are unskilled labor, and diesel fitters are skilled labor."
"What skill?" yells Ole. "I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven pulls dem down on his head and says, "Yah, diesel fitter!"
