Two Newfoundlanders Get Laid Off

When Two Newfoundlanders
got laid off
Paddy and Mick worked
together in St. John's and both were laid
off, so they went to the
unemployment office. When asked his occupation,
Paddy answered, "Panty
Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton
panties and thongs." The
clerk looked up panty stitcher on his computer and
finding it classified as
unskilled labor, he gave him $80
a week unemployment pay.
Mick was next and when asked
his
occupation replied, "Diesel
fitter." Since diesel fitter was a skilled
job, the clerk gave Mick
$160 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,
"Panty Stitchers are
unskilled and
Diesel Fitters are skilled
labor."
"What skill?" yelled Paddy.
"I sew the elastic on the
panties and the thongs. Mick
puts them over his head and says: "Yep,
diesel
fitter!"
