A man owned a small farm in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Wage and Hours Department 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", replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $400.00 a week plus free room and board.
The cook has been with me for 18 months, and I pay her $300.00 per week plus free room and board.
There's the half wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10.00 a week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occassionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to.... the half wit"' says the Agent.
"That would be me". replied the farmer.
