Boudreaux and Thibodeaux worked together in a Louisiana factory... and both
were laid off. So.....they went to the Unemployment Office together.
Asked his occupation, Boudreaux 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 Boudreaux $300 a week in unemployment compensation.
Thibodeaux, when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel fitter.'
The clerk looked up diesel fitter.... and it was classified as a skilled
job. So, the clerk gave Thibodeaux $600 a week in unemployment compensation.
When Boudreaux found this out, he was 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.
Wut skill?' yelled Boudreaux. I sew da elastic on da panties. Thibodeaux puts dem over his head and says, 'Yeah......... DIESEL FITTER'.
