Rednecks on Unemployment

Billy Bob and Rufus worked together in a Kentucky clothing factory. Both were laid off so they went to the unemployment office.

When asked his occupation, Billy Bob said “Pant stitcher….. I sew elastic into ladies pants”

The clerk looked up and said, “Pant stitcher, huh? Well…that’s unskilled labor, so you’ll be given $300 a week in unemployment pay.”

Next, she asked Rufus what his occupation was….and he said, “Diesel Fitter”, which was listed as a skilled job….so she put him down for $600 a week….

When Billy Bob found out he was furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his co-worker got twice the money he got!!!

The clerk explained, “Pant stitchers are unskilled, and diesel fitters are skilled labor”

“What skill?” yelled Billy Bob. “I sew the elastic on the pants and Rufus stretches them out and says….Dees’ll fit her.”
