The Department of Labour contacts a restaurant owner and claims he was not paying proper wages to his help. They 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 owner, "There's my chef who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $800 a week plus free meals.
The waitress has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free meals.
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 meals, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."
That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the owner.
