    Paddy and Mick worked together in St. John's, Newfoundland and both
    were
    laid off, so they went to the unemployment office.

    When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, "Panty Stitcher. I sew da
    elastic onto ladies cotton panties and tongs."

    The clerk looked up panty stitcher on his computer and finding it
    classified as unskilled labour, he gave him $80 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 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 labour.

    "What skill? yelled Paddy. "I sew da elastic on da panties and tongs;
    Mick puts 'em over his head and says: "Yep, diesel fitter!"
