The Montana Department of Employment, Division of Labor Standards claimed that
a small rancher was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to
investigate him.
AGENT: I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.
RANCHER: Well, there's my hired hand that’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him
$200 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy.
He works at least 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 so he can cope with life. He also sleeps
with my wife occasionally.
AGENT: That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one.
RANCHER: That would be me.
