The Montana Department of Employment,
Division of Labor Standards, claimed that a small rancher was not
paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate
him.
GOV’T 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.”
GOV’T AGENT: “That’s the guy I
want to talk to - the mentally challenged one.”
RANCHER: “That would
be me.”
A Texas rancher was approached by an Environmental Protection
Agency employee to inspect his fields for agricultural runoff that
might contaminate local waterways. The rancher agreed, but told the
inspector "Just don't go in that big fenced section up the hill."
The inspector huffily pointed out his photo ID badge. "You see this
badge?" he asked the rancher. "This badge allows me to go wherever
I need to go on official government business for the EPA."
"OK," said
the rancher, "whatever you say," and he stood back to watch
the inspector take the short dirt road up the hill. Minutes
later, the rancher looked up to see the inspector in the middle of
that section, running for his life. Hot on his heels was an
angry bull.
"Help me!" shouted the inspector. "Do something!"
Quickly
the rancher jumped up on the fence and hollered back "Your badge!
Show him your badge!"
First the Humor ...
