The Louisiana Department of Labor claimed a small Caddo Parish 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 $ 400 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."
