The Farmer

A man owned a small farm outside of Lethbridge. Employment Standards 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, there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board.

Then there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a bottle of Rye every Friday," replied the farmer.

"That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent."

The farmer says, "You are talkin' to him."
