Diesel Fitter


Diesel Fitter
~~~~~~~~~
Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they
went to the unemployment office.  When 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 unemployment pay.
The second guy was asked his occupation.  "Diesel fitter," he replied.
Since diesel fitters are a skilled job, the clerk gave the second guy
$600. a week.  When the first guy found out he was furious.  He stormed
into the office to find out why his friend and coworker was collecting
double his pay.

The clerk explained, "Panty stitchers are unskilled, and diesel fitters are
skilled labor."

"What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher.  "I sew the elastic on...he
pulls them over his head and says,  'Yep, diesel fitter.'"
