Bill Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 No disrespect to our Irish fraternity. Paddy O'Malley, an elderly Irish farmer received a letter from the Department for Work & Pensions, stating that they suspected he was not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and they would send an inspector to interview them. On the appointed day, the inspector turned up. "Tell me about your staff," he asked Paddy. "Well," said Paddy, "there’s the farm hand, I pay him £240 a week, and he has a free cottage. Then there’s the housekeeper, She gets £190 a week, along with free board and lodgings. There’s also a half-wit, He works a 16 hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about £25 and an occasional bottle of whisky, and as a special treat sometimes gets to sleep with my wife." "That’s disgraceful" said the inspector, "I need to interview the half-wit first." "That’ll be me then," says Paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
