Subject: half wit
A man owned a small farm in West Virginia . The West Virginia 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.
=A0=A0"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. " =A0=A0"That's the guy
I want to talk to --- the half-wit," says the agent. "That would be me,"
replied the farmer.
