A man owned a small farm in Georgia. The Georgia State Wage & Hour
Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and
sent an agent out to interview him.
"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 $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 who 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 bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my
wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to ... the half-wit," said the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer.
"It does not take many words to speak the truth". Chief Joseph
