The Department of Labor is bragging about all the new high-tech jobs they created. Let us check a few of them out. Dust collector, potato peeler, pretzel twisting, mattress testing, pillow stuffer, brassiere cup molder cutter, and panty hose crotch closer. Does that mean, Mr. Speaker, there is a panty hose crotch closer supervisor job that has been created? What is next? A pocket scientist? Beam me up. Evidently, the Department of Labor worked so hard that, even when they are sleeping, they are sleeping on the job, Mr. Speaker. I yield back that the only high tech of the Department of Labor is they are probably getting higher.
