A man owned a small farm in Canada. The Canadian 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 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 here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every week," replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit," says the
agent.
The farmer says, "That would be me."
