hitest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 THE MINIMUM WAGEA man owned a small farm in Scotland . The Inland Revenue claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the rep.'Well,' replied the farmer, 'there's my farmhand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board.''The cook has 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 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 whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.''That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit,' says the agent.'That would be me ,' replied the farmer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
