A person owned a small farm and the Department of Labour claimed the farmer was not paying proper wages to the farmer's help and sent an agent out to interview the farmer.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded 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. The part-time
hand has been here for 18 months, and I pay him $400 per week. Then there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. The half-wit makes $10 per week, and I buy the half-wit a case of Bud every Saturday night."
"That's the person I want to talk to-the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer
