Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office and the first guy was asked what his occupation was prior to being laid off. "Panty stitcher" He replied ... adding, "I sew the elastic onto cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor; she gave him £150, a week's unemployment pay.
The second guy was asked his occupation."Diesel Fitter". Since diesel fitters was a skilled job, the clerk gave the second guy £400 a week.
When the first guy found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting over double his pay. The clerk pointed out that he was a skilled laborer.
"What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher. " I sews the elastic on the knickers. He pulls on it and says, Yep, Diesel Fitter! "
