A man owned a farm in Australia . The Tax Office claimed he was not paying
proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.
'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the rep.
'Well,' replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years.
I pay him $500 a week plus free room and board. He also gets triple time for
working on a Sunday and a slab of beer for a Happy Hour every Friday"
'The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $400 per week plus free
room and board. She doesn't work on Sundays and I provide paid satellite
television for free in her room.
'Then 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 $20 per week, pays his own room
and board, and I buy him a bottle of whisky 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,' replied the farmer.
