A man owned a small farm in Devon . The Inland Revenue 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 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.
