From Walt...
A rancher in South Texas was having some trouble with the State. The Texas Work Force Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help,and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees, and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the rancher, "there's my farm hand, 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 $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to... to the half-wit," said the agent.
The rancher replied, "That would be me."
Walt must be on the same DL as my Bud in Florida who forwards these very same jokes to me. Amazing, eh?
ReplyDelete"Amazing" don't capture it, Buck.
ReplyDeleteWalt is my cousin, and he knows the path I've followed. I don't know where he gets his stuff, but it's always a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy day.
