A man owned a small farm in Texas. The Texas Wage
and 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, there's my hired hand who's been with me
for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room
and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and
I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit that works here about 18
hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a
bottle of bourbon every week," replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,"
says the agent.
The farmer says, "That would be me."
