Paddy and Mick worked together in St. John's and
Both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment
Office.
When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, "Panty
Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton panties and thongs."
The clerk looked up panty stitcher on his computer
And finding it classified as unskilled labor, he gave him $80 a week unemployment pay.
Mick was next and when asked his occupation replied, "Diesel fitter."
Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick $160 a week.
When Paddy found out he was furious. He stormed back in to the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained, "Panty Stitchers are unskilled and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor."
"What skill?" yelled Paddy. "I sew the elastic on the panties and the thongs. Mick puts them over his head and says: "Yep, diesel fitter!"
