Manuel and Pedro worked together and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office.
When asked his occupation, Manuel answered, “Panty Stitcher. I sew da elastic onto ladies’ cotton panties.”
The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as “unskilled labor”, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay. Pedro was asked his occupation.
“Diesel Fitter”, he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Pedro $600 a week.
When Manuel 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, “Panty stitchers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled labor.”
“What skill?” yelled Manuel.”? I sew the elastic on da panties. Pedro puts dem over his head and says, “Yeah, diesel fitter.”
