The Officials Who Came Looking for Trouble—and the Ranchers Who Outsmarted Them

A man owned a small ranch in Montana. The Montana WorkForce Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help, so they sent an agent out to interview him. “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” the agent demanded, already looking rather pleased with himself.

“Well,” replied the rancher, “there is my farmhand, who has been with me for three years. I pay him $200 a week, and he gets room and board for free.”

“The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week, plus free room and board.”

The agent nodded and began writing everything down. Then he looked up suspiciously. “Is that everyone?”

“Well,” the rancher hesitated, “there’s also the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around the ranch.

He earns about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”

The agent immediately stopped writing. His eyes narrowed. “He’s the guy I wanna talk to… the half-wit,” he said, convinced that he had finally found the employee who would prove his case.

“That would be me,” replied the rancher.

The agent stared at him for a long second, realizing far too late that the rancher had been describing himself the entire time. LOL!!

The man is shocked. He says, “Sir, this is animal cruelty! I’ll have to fine you $10,000!”

The farmer is stunned, but before he can argue, the official turns around and walks away, leaving him wondering what answer could possibly satisfy the government.

The next day, another official approaches the farmer and asks him what he feeds his pigs. The farmer replies, “Oh, the pigs? Only the best products, sir! Caviar, artisanal cheeses, and hand-picked salads!”

The man is shocked. He says, “Sir, the food is way too rich for them. They’ll get sick! I’ll have to fine you $10,000!”

By now, the farmer is beginning to suspect that no matter what he says, someone is going to find a reason to fine him. So when a third official approaches him the following day and asks the same question, the farmer finally decides to give the only answer he can think of.

The farmer answers, “Oh, the pigs? I’ll give them 20 bucks each and let them shop themselves.”

LOL!! Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
