(Not to be outdone by Bob...)
Sven and Ole worked together in a Minnesota factory and both were laid off.
So...dey went to the Unemployment Office togedder.
Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew da elastic onto ladies cotton panties."
The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave Ole $300 a week in unemployment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation he replied, "Diesel Fitter".
Since Diesel Fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week. When Ole found this out, he was furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and coworker was collecting double his benefits.
The clerk explained, "Panty Stitchers are unskilled and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor."
"What @#$% skill?", yelled Ole. "I sew da elastic on da panties. Ole puts dem over his head and says,
"Yah, ------------- DIESEL FITTER"
