    Paddy and Mick worked together 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. Finding it classified as unskilled
    labour, she gave him £45 a week unemployment pay.
    Mick was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied.

    Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick £90 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 the elastic on the panties and the thongs. Mick puts them over his head and says: "Yep, diesel fitter."
