The Revenoor, a most perceptive and astute gentleman from out west, sent this one...
Jack Burrell, bought a small farm in the Midwest. During a random audit, the Dept. of Labor determined that Burrell wasn't paying proper wages to his staff and sent an investigator to interview him.
"I'm going to need a list of your employees and how much you pay them!" stated the investigator.
"Well," replied Burrell, "there's my farmhand 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."
Pausing, he continued, "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. And, if you can believe it, he also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to - the halfwit!" said the agent.
"That would be me," replied the Burrell.
