A man owned a small farm.
The Ministry claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff 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 farmer, 'there's my farmhand/tractor driver who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £400 a week plus free room and board. The cook/housekeeper has been here for 18 months, and I pay her £200 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 £40 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. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
