What's Your Occupation?
Paddy and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the unemployment
office.
When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, "Knicker Stitcher. I
sew da elastic onto ladies' knickers and thongs."
The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it
classified as unskilled labor, he gave him 80 dollars a week
unemployment pay.
Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, "Diesel
Fitter."
Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick 160
dollars a week.
When Paddy found out he was furious. He stormed back into the
office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double
his pay.
The clerk explained, "Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labor and
Diesel Fitters are skilled labor."
"What skill?" yelled Paddy. "I sew da elastic on da knickers and
thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says, "Yep, diesel
fitter'."
