The half-wit farmer

[planedriver]

A man owned a small farm in Aberdeenshire.The Department of Work & Pensions claimed he was not paying proper wages to his farm hands and sent an Inspector out to interview him.

 

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.

 

"Well," replied the farmer, "There's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £ 200 a week plus free room and board, plus all main meals. There is a lady who cleans and cooks she's been here for 18 months, and I pay her £ 150 per week plus free room and board."

 

"Then there's the half-wit. He works about 19 hours every day and does about 95% of all the work around here.

 

He makes about £100 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Scotch every Saturday night.He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."

 

"That's the man I want to talk to...the half-wit," says the Inspector

 

"That would be me then," replied the farmer

Ahhhh yes funny if only it weren't close to the truth

 

still he is probably doing fine - he is getting 100 per week - and he still has 5 hrs left every day to fly ( remember the nights are for sleeping)
