he Montana Department of
Employment, Division of Labor Standards claimed a small rancher was not paying
proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate
him.
AGENT: I need a list of your employees and how much
you pay them.
RANCHER: Well,
there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week
plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He
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 room and board, and I
buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He
also sleeps with my wife occasionally.
AGENT: That's the guy I want to talk to - the
mentally challenged one.
RANCHER: That
would be me.
