A man owned a small Ranch In Texas. The Texas Work Force 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 per week plus
free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does
about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays
his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday
night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to ... the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the Rancher
