A man owned a small farm near Witmore, Montana .
The IRS claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an Inspector out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the Inspector.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $10.00 per hour plus free room and board.
The housekeeper has been here for 18 months, and I pay her the minimum wage of $6.80 per hour 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 Scotch every Saturday night. Oh, and he also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to ... the half-wit," says the Inspector.
"That would be me," replied the farmer...
