The Half Wit

A man owned a large farm in Iowa. The 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, 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 to keep him going," 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."
