In celebration of my birthday today, I thought I’d present you with this joke. I figure as I’m approaching 40 more and more than ever, this would be fitting, because to me, it really is a joke that I’m almost 40. I can still remember freaking out about hitting 30. Boy, would I love to have that back…but then again, I’ll be saying the same thing about 40 when I hit 50, too.
Anyway, yes, you could say “I’m” the butt of this joke here, but I’ve always said, if you can’t make fun of yourself, then you’re not funny. 
Enjoy.
Sven and Ole worked together in a Minnesota factory and both were laid off… Sooo…dey went to the Unemployment Office togedder.
Asked his occupation, Ole 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 Ole $300 a week in unemployment compensation.
Sven, 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 Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.
When Ole 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 ski! lled la bor.”
“Vat skill? yelled Ole. “I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven puts dem over his head and says, “Yah,…………… DIESEL FITTER”.
