Sven and Ole worked together and both were laid off, so off they went to the employment office. When asked about his occupation, Ole 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 per week unemployment pay.

Sven was asked his occupation. “Diesel fitter,” he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week. When Ole found out, he was furious. He stormed back 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 Ole. “I sew the elastic on the panties. Sven pulls them down on his head and says, ‘Yah, diesel fitter.’”
