    Two Norwegians go to Collect Unemployment

    Sven and Ole worked together in a Minnesota factory…..and both were laid off.

    So…dey vent to der Unemployment Office togedder.

    Asked his occupation, Ole said, “Panty Stitcher. I sew da elastic onto da ladies cotton panties.”

    The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave Ole $300 a week in unemployment compensation.

    Sven, when asked his occupation replied, “Diesel Fitter”.

    The clerk looked up Diesel Fitter…and it was classified as skilled. So, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.

    When Ole found this out, he was yus furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his benefits.

    The clerk explained, “Panty Stitchers are unskilled labor and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor.”

    “Vat skill? yelled Ole. “I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven puts dem over his head and says,

    “Yah,————- DIESEL FITTER”.
