Fitter

At one point of time there was a heavy influx of immigrants in the US. So the authorities decided to screen the people coming in and allow only those who were professional in some field or the other. When Santa and Banta decided to migrate to the US, they too were screened. Santa went first and he was asked about his work and skill.

“Fitter” he said.

He was let in.

Banta went next and declared he worked in a ladies undergarment store. The officer at the screening counter rejected Banta’s plea and said that his was not a skilled profession.

Banta angered by this, said “But right before me, you let Santa go through.”

The Officer said, “He is skilled. He is a fitter.”

Banta commented, “Sure he is a fitter. When a lady comes in the store, Santa holds up a bra and says if it will fit the customer or not.”
