MY BOSS SENT ME THIS JOKE

Sven and Olaf work together in a Minnesota factory. Both are laid off, so they go to the Unemployment Office together. Asked his occupation, Olaf says, 'Panty stitcher. I sew da elastic onto da ladies cotton panties.'


The clerk looks up "panty stitcher". Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gives Olaf $300 a week in unemployment compensation.


Sven, when asked his occupation replies, 'Diesel fitter.'


The clerk looks up "diesel fitter" and it is classified as a skilled job. So, the clerk gives Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.


When Olaf hears this, he is furious! He storms back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker is collecting double his benefits.


The clerk explains, 'Panty stitchers are unskilled labor, and diesel fitters are skilled labor.'


'Vat skill??!!' yells Olaf. 'I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven puts dem over his head and says, 'Yah...... DIESEL FITTER.'
