Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 A man owned a small farm in Australia.The Fair Work Australia Office claimed he was not paying proper wages tohis staff and sent a representative out to interview him.“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demandedthe rep. “Well,” replied the farmer, “There's my farm hand who's been with me for3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room and board. He also getstriple time for working on a Sunday and a slab of beer for a Happy Hourevery Friday.” “The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $400 per week plusfree room and board. She doesn't work on Sundays and I provide paidsatellite television for free in her room.” “Then there's the half-wit.He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the workaround here. He makes about $20 per week, pays his own room and board,and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleepswith my wife occasionally.” “That's the guy I want to talk to... the half-wit,” says the agent. “That would be me,” replied the farmer.
