A man owned a small farm in Aberdeenshire.
The Department of Employment & Pensions 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 farm hand who's been with me for 3 Years. I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board.
The cook/housekeeper 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
