Bjorn and Sven came to the U.S. from Sweden in search of good jobs, so they went to the unemployment office the first day they got in. The unemployment officer asked Bjorn what he did in Sweden, and Bjorn said he put the elastic lining in women's panty hose. The officer told him that job wasn't of great importance in America, so he would only get $100 a week.

The next day Sven was admitted in. When they asked him his occupation, he replied, "Diesel fitter." Well, the unemployment officer thought he did something important with diesel engines, so she paid him $300 dollars a week.

Bjorn was furious when he found out Sven was making more than him, so the next day he returned to the unemployment office. "Why you pay Sven more dan me?" he asked.

She replied, "Well, we need diesel fitters more than hose liners in our economy."

Bjorn said, "How could his yob be more important? I put de lining in de hose, but he yust puts 'em on his head and says, 'Dese'll fit 'er."
