A man owned a small farm in South Georgia. The Wage and Hour Department
claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to
interview him. "You just give me a list of your employees and tell me how
much you pay them."
"All right," said the farmer. "I have a hired man. Been with
me for three years. I pay him $600 a week, plus room and
board. I have a cook. She's been here six months. She gets
$500 a week plus room and board."
"Anybody else?" asked the agent as he scribbled on a note
pad.
"Yeah," the farmer said. "There's a half-wit here. Works
about eighteen hours a day. I pay him ten dollars a week and
give him chewing tobacco."
"Aha!" the agent roared. "I want to talk to that half-wit!"
"You're talkin' to him now," said the farmer.
