Sven and Ole worked together but were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked for his occupation, Sven looked the lady in the eye and said "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher, found it was classed as unskilled labor, and gave Sven $300 a week unemployment pay.

Ole goes in and when asked for his occupation, replies "Diesel fitter." Since diesel fitters was a skilled job the clerk gave Ole $600 a week unemployment pay.

Sven found out about Ole's pay and was furious. He stormed back to find out why he was collecting double what he was getting. The clerk explained, "When I looked it up, panty-stitchers were unskilled laborers and diesel fitters were skilled laborers."

Sven screamed, "Skill! What skill!? I sew the elastic on, and he pulls on it and says:

Yep, diesel fitter"
