Lost in the Translation
Sven and Helmut worked together, and both were laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office..jpg)
Asked his occupation, Helmut said "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties."
The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay.
Sven was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.
When Helmut found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained: panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled labor.
"What skill?" yelled Helmut. "
I sew the elastic on, Sven pulls on it and says, "Yep, diesel fitter".
Good for Sven haha
