Unemployment ************* Billy Bob and Rufus worked together in a S.C. clothing factory and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Billy Bob answered, "Panty stitcher, I sew the elastic onto ladies' cotton panties." The clerk looked up "panty stitcher" and it was listed as unskilled labor, so she put him down for $300 a week unemployment pay. She asked Rufus his occupation and he said, "Diesel fitter," which was listed as a skilled job. So she put him down for $600 a week. When Billy Bob found out, he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his co-worker got twice the money. The clerk explained, "Panty stitchers are unskilled, and diesel fitters are skilled labor." "What skill?" yelled Billy Bob. "I sew the elastic on the panties, and Rufus puts 'em over his head and says,"Diesel fitter."
