Jokes of My Father's : The Poor Boss
My Father labors daily under the delusion that he has it far worse than his employees. For him, this is more than a joke... it's how he perceives his life.
The Half-WitA man owned a small farm in Georgia. The Georgia State Wage & Hour 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 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 has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per 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 also sleeps with
my wife occasionally."" That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit," said the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer
