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 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 dollars 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 dollars 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, dese'll fit her ."
