The Story of an English Farmer
A farmer owned a small farm in the Midlands.
The Department of Employment claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent an official out to interview him.
'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the official.
'Well,' replied the farmer, 'there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £250 a week plus free room and board.
The cook/housekeeper 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 official.
'That would be me,' replied the farmer.
