Labour standards (joke)

THE MINIMUM WAGE

A man owned a small farm in Saskatchewan.

The Labour Standards Commission
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 $400 a
week plus free room and board.'

'The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay
her $300 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 $100 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.
