A canuckle head named Big Dummie owned a ranch in Big Beaver. The Wage and Hour Department of
Saskatchewan claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an
agent to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the
agent.
"Well, there's my hired 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 month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit
that works about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him chewing
tobacco," replied Big Dummie.
"That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent.
Big Dummie says, "That would be me."
