The Half Wit
A man owned a small potato farm in Houlton, Maine. An agent from the
Maine Wage & Hour Board dropped by on a routine check to see if he was
Paying proper wages to his hired hands. "I need a list of your
Employees and how much you pay them," said the agent.
Well," replied the farmer, "There's a man 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 scotch 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. _________________ FEAR Fear!
