A man owned a small apple farm in Washington State. An agent of the
Washington State Wage & Hour Board dropped by, on a routine check to see
if he was paying proper wages to his help.

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," said the
agent.

"Well," replied the farmer, "There's my farm hand who's been with me for
3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. Then there's
the cook. She's been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week
plus free room and board."

"Finally there's a half-wit who works 18 hours every day and does about
90% of all the work around here. He makes about $30 a week, pays his own
room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."

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

"That would be me." replied the farmer.
