Old John.


Old John had a farm in Queensland. The Queensland Wages Board claimed he was not paying proper wages to his workers and sent an agent out to interview him.
'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the agent.
'Well,' replied old John, 'There's my jackaroo 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, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who 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 bundy rum every Saturday night.'
'That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,' says the agent.
'That would be me,' replied old farmer John.

Anyone who has ran their own Company will relate to that completely. OOOHHH how glad I am to be retired. No more workers on fake compo & sick leave, that considers that the world owes them a living.
