The Rancher

A man owned a small ranch near Marfa . The Texas Labor Department got a
tip that he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an
investigator out to interview him.

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them, " demanded
the investigator. "Well," replied the rancher,
"there's my ranch hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1200 a
week plus free room and board.

The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $1000 per week plus
free room and board.

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 $10 per week,
pays his own room and board. But, I buy
him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night, and he also
sleeps **with my wife occasionally."

"That's the guy I want to talk to ...
the half-wit," says the investigator.

"That would be me," replied the rancher.

That sounds about par for a self employed dude. Funny.
