Paddy and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the
unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Paddy
answered, 'Knicker Stitcher. I sew de elastic onto ladies'
knickers and thongs.'

The clerk looked up Knicker 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, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled
labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.'

'What skill?' yelled Paddy. 'I sew da elastic on da
knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and
says: 'Yep, diesel fitter.'
