The Half Wit! (a little humour!!!)
9/24/2009 at 4:27 PM
A man owned a small farm in Manitoba and Labour Board 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 $400.00 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $300.00 per week plus free room and board. 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 $10.00 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Rye 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 Agent.
That would be me, sir", replied the farmer
My husband ... a farmer all of his life ... loves this joke and believes that it is more truth than humour.
