The 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.
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: ?You are talking to him.?
