A man owned a small farm in Florida. The Florida 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 per 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 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 farmer.
