A man owned a small farm in the Highlands. The Farm Worker's Union claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent a Union Official to interview him.
"Just give me a list of your employees and tell me how much you pay them," said the Official.
"Well....there's only two," said the farmer. "I have a farm hand who's been with me for going on three years. He does a 35-hour week and I pay him £350 weekly, plus free room and board. I have a cook and she's been here six months and she gets £300 a week plus free room and board."
"Anybody else?" asked the Official, as he scribbled in his note pad.
"Oh yes, I nearly forgot," said the farmer. "There's the half-wit. He does an 18-hour day and he earns £100 a week, if he's lucky."
"A-ha!" said the Official, "I want to talk to that half-wit!"
"You're talking to him," said the farmer.
