A man owned a small ranch near Great Falls, Montana. The Montana 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, with no days off, and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week and 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.
.
"You're talking to him," replied the rancher.
