The Texas Department of Labor 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 each of them," demanded the agent.

"Well," replied the rancher, "there's my farm hand, who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.

"Then there's the cook, who's 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 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."

"Ah-HAH! That's the guy I want to talk to -- the half-wit!" said the agent.

"That would be me," replied the rancher.

H/t to Warrior 25, who's also a half-wit for hanging around with the likes of V29, Baby-san, and me.

(My dad manages a ranch.  In the 18 years I can remember, I think he had a total of a full month of vacation time, not counting the 19 days he was unemployed.  It's a calling, not a job!  Or, as mom says: cows don't stop eating because it's Christmas.)]]> 2009-07-02T23:26:41Z 2009-07-02T23:26:41Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.10970-comment:90332 JamesLee
In a week or two, my buddy might be back with me too, who's in the reserve unit out of Belton.  He's been in long enough to have probably worked on Jeeps himself.

Let me know, I'll do what I can!]]> 2009-07-02T23:16:22Z 2009-07-02T23:16:22Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.10970-comment:90331 John of Argghhh! http://www.thedonovan.com 2009-07-02T23:06:53Z 2009-07-02T23:06:53Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.10970-comment:90323 JamesLee 2009-07-02T21:08:48Z 2009-07-02T21:08:48Z
