. . . here's a farmer story:
A man owned a small farm in Kansas. The Kansas Wage and 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, there's my field hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600
a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and
I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit
who works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a
bottle of bourbon every Saturday night," replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to--the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer sadly.
