A good preacher should have these qualities and virtues: 1. He should teach systematically. 2. He should have a ready wit. 3. He should be eloquent. 4. He should have a good voice. 5. He should have a good memory. 6. He should know when to stop. 7. He should be sure of his doctrine. 8. He should go out and grapple with body and blood, wealth and honor, in the world. 9. He should let himself be mocked and jeered at by everybody.
Martin Luther

Sven and Ole worked together, and both were laid off, so off they
went to the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Ole
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 fitters was a skilled job the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.

When Ole found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out
why his friend and coworker was collecting double his pay. The
clerk explained: panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters
were skilled labor.

"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on, Sven pulls on it and
says, "Yep, diesel fitter."
