The Irish Halfwit
Posted: 05 Jan 2011, 19:48
A man owned a small farm in Ireland. The Irish Internal Revenue determined he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent an investigator out to interivew him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them!," demanded the investigator.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for three years. I pay him 200 euros a week plus free room and board."
"The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her 150 euros per week plus free room and board."
"Then there's the halfwit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about 10 euros a week. He pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wifefe occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to.................the halfwit!"
"That would me me," replied the farmer.
