A man owned a small farm in Iowa. The Iowa Wage and Hour Department 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, there's my hired 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 a month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit that works here about18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every week," replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to; the halfwit," says the agent."
"That would be me,” the farmer said.
