The North Dakota Department of Labor claimed a small Bismarck dairy farmer was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.
Department of Labor employee: I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.
Farmer: Well, there's my farm 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 worker. 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.
Department of Labor employee: That's the guy I want to talk to... the mentally challenged one.
Farmer: That would be me.
