[AT] The Farmer--OT

[David Rotigel]

A man owned a small farm in Minnesota.

The Minnesota State 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," 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.

The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $350 per week  
plus free room and board.

Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does  
about 90% of all the work around here.

He makes about $50 per week, pays his own room and board, I buy him a  
bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. And 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.
