Subject: THE RANCHER
A man owned a small ranch in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Department of
Labor 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, "There's my ranch hand who's 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 there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours every day and
does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes $10 per week, and
I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."
"That's the guy I want to talk to -- the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the rancher.
