Farmer Tax

A Farmer's Tale

A man owned a small farm in South Carolina.  The South Carolina Wage & Hours 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 $400.00 a week plus free room and board. 

"The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $300.00 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 $10.00 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.

A farmer, while looking over his huge flock of sheep, sees a man approaching. The man says "Hi, nice bunch of sheep ya got there. I know a lot about sheep, and if I can tell you exactly how many sheep you have in less than five minutes, will you give me one?". Out of curiosity the farmer agreed. The guy whips out a digital camera, downloads to his blackberry, punches some buttons, waits a moment, punches some buttons and after a few minutes, comes back with "1,126 sheep". The farmer is amazed because the number is correct, so he tells the stranger to grab the one he likes. The man goes back to the flock and chooses one. When he is about to leave, the farmer calls him back "Wait, if I tell you your profession and where you are from, will you give me back my sheep?" Out of curiosity the man says "OK, fair enough". "You are a Congressman from Washington DC" the farmer says. "Yes, that is correct! How did you figure that out? All my calculations?" the Congressman answers.
Farmer: "No, I knew when you took my border collie".
