TECWAE

Manuel and Pedro worked together and both were laid off,
so they went to the unemployment office.
When asked his occupation, Manuel answered, "PantyStitcher.
I sew da elastic onto ladies' cotton panties."

The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as
"unskilled"  labor",  she gave him $300 a week
unemployment pay.

Pedro was asked his occupation. "Diesel Fitter," he
replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Pedro
$600 a  week.

When Manuel 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 labor."

"What skill?!" yelled Manuel. "I sew the elastic on da
panties,  Pedro puts dem over his head and says:
"Yeah, diesel fitter."
