A man owned a small farm in Ireland. The Irish
Internal Revenue determined he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent
an investigator out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay
them!", demanded the investigator.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand
who's been with me for three 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 halfwit. He works about 18
hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about
£10 a week. He pays his own
room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every
Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife ocasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to...the halfwit!" said the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer.
