There was a farm in New England and the word was out they were not treating their workers fairly. So, the state wage department official was sent to check it out. They asked the farmer what he was paying people.

The farmer said, well I have a farmhand and he gets paid $200 a week and he gets free room and board. I’ve got a cook. He gets $150 a week and he gets free room and board. And there is this half-wit here. He works about 18 hours a day. 90% of the work around here is done by this man. He pays his own room and board. And Saturday night, he gets a warm beer.

The official said, “Well, I want to talk to this half-wit.”

The farmer said, “Uh, well that would be me.”

Sometimes you do the work and others get the benefits, especially when you own your own business.
