A man owned a small farm in Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n
The Saskatchewan Provincial Wage & Hours Department claimed he was not paying\u00a0 proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.<\/p>\n
“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent.<\/p>\n
“Well,” replied the farmer, “there’s my farm hand who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.”<\/p>\n
“That’s the guy I want to talk to…the half-wit,” says the agent.<\/p>\n
“That would be me,” replied the farmer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
