A man owned a small ranch in Idaho. The Idaho Wage & Hour Dept 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" replied the rancher, "There's my ranch 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 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours every day and does
about 90% of all the work around here. He makes $10 per week, and I buy him
a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."
"That's the guy I want to talk to -- the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the rancher.

Quite a bit of heavy, wet snow for this early in the season. I am sure glad I got my calves out of here. Taken 10/5/2005.

Then I had to read it aloud to all who were still in the house.
We just finished doing some bank negotiations and the bank lady kept saying, "What do you live on? Don't you take any wages for yourselves?"
I should send her this post.
