Unemployment Benefit

Paddy and Mick went to the unemployment office after being laid off from work.

The woman behind the counter asked each of them what they did before having to claim benefit, so she could determine how much they were entitled to receive.

"Knicker stitcher," says paddy.

The woman determines that Paddy should receive £80 a week for unskilled labour.

"Diesel Fitter, " replies Mick when his turn comes.

The woman determines that he is entitled to £160 per week as a skilled worker.

Later that day, while the two were discussing the amount they were awarded, Paddy is disgruntled to discover that his friend is getting twice as much. He goes back to the unemployment office to complain.

"Your friend does skilled work," the woman explains. "A diesel fitter is more skilled than stitching knickers."

"My arse it is!" Paddy exclaims. "After I stitch in da elastic he puts da knickers on his head and says whether dese 'ill fit her or not."
