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.
