    A man owned a small jewelry store in Ohio. The Ohio State Wage & Hour
    Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help 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 the jeweler, "there's my waxhead who's been with me
    for 3 years. I pay him $1000 a week plus free room and board. The
    polisher has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $550 per 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 bourbon
    every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally." 

    "That's the guy I want to talk to --- the half-wit," says the agent.
    "That would be me," replied the jeweler.
