A man owned a small farm.
The Fair Work
Office claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to
interview him.
'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay
them,' demanded the rep.
'Well,' replied
the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room and
board. He also gets triple time for
working on a Sunday and a slab of beer for a Happy Hour every
Friday"
'The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $400 per
week plus free room and board. She
doesn't work on Sundays and I provide paid satellite television for free in her room.
'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 $20 per
week, he pays his own room and board
and I buy him a bottle of whiskey 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.
