The New Mexico Department of Labor claimed that the owner of a small
ranch in the state wasn't paying his workers adequately and sent an
agent to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and their wages," demanded the agent.
The rancher replied, "Well, there's my ranch hand who has been with me
three years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook
has been here 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit who works 18 hours every day and
does 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."
"That's the guy I want to talk to . . . the half-wit," said the agent.
"That would be me," replied the rancher.
