A farmer owned a small farm in Wyoming. The wage and Hour Department of Wyoming claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help. They sent an agent to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them." demanded the agent.
"Well...there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months. I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit that works about 18 hours a day. I pay him $10 a week and buy him chewing tobacco" replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit." says the agent.
"That would be me," the farmer says.
