The Half Wit!

A man owned a small farm in Iowa. The Iowa 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 are my hired hands. One has been with me for four

years; the other for three. I pay them each $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 takes home $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," said the agent.

The farmer said, "That would be me."
