Topic: Ole and Sven

[roy1]

Both Ole and Sven wanted some money, so they went to the bank for a loan. Sven went in first. "I want $10,000!"

"What do you do for a living?" asked the manager.

"I'm a pilot!" said Sven.

"Well, that is a good profession!" said the manager, so he gave him the money.

Then Ole went in and said, "I want $10,000 too!"

"Well, what do you do for a living?" asked the manager.

"I'm a lumberjack," he replied.

"Well, I can't give a lumberjack that kind of money," said the manager.

"Well, what's the deal with that, if I don't cut the wood, Sven can't pile it."

Sven and Ole worked together, and both were laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Ole said "Seam stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties."

The clerk looked up seam 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 fitters was a skilled job the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.

When Ole 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: "Seam stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled labor."

"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on, Sven pulls the panties over his fat head and says, "Yep, diesel fitter."
