A man owned a small farm in Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin State Wage & Hour Department claimed
he was not paying proper wages to his help and
sent an agent out to interview him. "I need a list
of your employees and how much you pay them",
demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand
who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200
a week plus free room and board. The cook has
been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 a
week plus free room and board. Then there's the
half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and
does about 90% of all the work around here. He
makes about $10 a week, pays his own room and
board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every
Saturday night. He also sleeps with the wife
occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to---the half-wit,"
says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer.
