Half-wit Farmer Old ranch owner Tom farmed a small ranch in the South. The US Government Labor Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his workers 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 Tom 'There's my ranch hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook
has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who 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. He invests in penny stocks and makes nothing for twenty years. He is a conspiracy theorist and re-posts on the discussion board repeating the same dribbles with old news from a decade ago.
'That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,' says the agent.
'That would be me,' replied old farmer Tom.
