The Texas Department of Employment, Division of Labor Standards claimed a small Rancher was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him...
Government agent: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them."
Rancher: "Well, there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board... Then there's the mentally challenged worker. 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, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also occasionally sleeps with my wife.
Government agent: "That's the guy I want to talk to . . . the mentally challenged one.
Rancher: "That would be me."
