I have been sharing items from this thread for weeks and thought it was time to contribute. I hope you all will want me to contribute again after this..........

Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they went to the
unemployment office.

Asked his occupation, the first guy 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's 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 coworker was collecting double his pay. The clerk
explained: panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled
labor.

"What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher. "I sew the elastic on. He pulls on
it and says, "Yep, diesel fitter."
