Thread: Farmer

A man owned a small farm inQueensland


The Department of Employment claimed he was not paying proper wages to his
staff and sent a representative out to interview him.



"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the rep.


'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/housekeeper has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week
plus free room and board.

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 whiskey every Saturday night. He also
sleeps with my wife occasionally.'

'That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit,' says the agent.

'That would be me,' replied the farmer.
