The Unemployment Office


John went to the unemployment office to get a job and told the placement specialist that he was a pilot. After browsing through some files, she told him that she did have a job for him and that he could start in the morning. John told his brother Bill about the quick response, so Bill went to the unemployment office that afternoon. Telling the placement specialist that he was a woodcutter, he was told that there were no jobs for woodcutters at that time.

"But my brother just got a job that starts tomorrow." He complained. "How did he get a job so easily?"

"The woman looked up John's records and said, "Well, he's a pilot."

"So what?" Bill said. "John can't pile it until I cut it!"
