Robin’s 2 cents
Farm owner John, owned a small farm in the area. The Labour Board claimed he wasn’t paying proper wages to his people. So they send out 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 ranch hand that’s been with me for three years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board”.
“The cook has been here for eighteen months, and I pay her $500.00 a week, plus free room and board.”
“Then there’s this ‘half wit’ who works about eighteen hours a day, and does about ninety percent of all the work around here, that makes about $10.00 per week, pays his own room and board and I buy him a bottle of whisky every Saturday night.”
“That’s the guy I want to talk to – the half wit,” says the agent.
