Steve and Dave were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office to sign on. When asked his occupation, Steve replied, "I'm an underwear stitcher. I sew elastic onto cotton panties."
The clerk looked up 'underwear stitcher' and found it classified as unskilled labour. Steve would receive $300.00 a week in unemployment benefits.
Then it was Dave's turn. When asked his occupation he replied, "Diesel Fitter". Since this is skilled work Dave would get $600.00 a week in unemployment benefits.
Hearing this, Steve storms back into the office to complain. The clerk explains that Dave gets more as he was skilled, where as he was unskilled.
"Skilled?" said Steve outraged. "What skill? I sew the elastic onto the panties, all he does is hold them up and says 'Yep, diesel fitter."

"That's a beautiful fur coat your wearing," remarked one friend to another, "but don't you pity the poor beast who suffered so that you might have it?"
The friend replied "Why are you suddenly all worried about my husband?"
