Almost Self-Reliant
A man owned a small farm in Alabama. The Alabama Wage and Hour Dept. 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 rancher, Theres my ranch hand whos been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free room and board. Then theres the half-wit who 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.
Thats the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit, says the agent.
That would be me, replied the farmer.
