As St. Patrick's Day has recently been and gone, I thought you may enjoy this little Irish story....
Paddy McCoy, 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 lodging. There's also the half-wit. He works a 16 hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about £25 a week along with a bottle of whisky and, as a special treat, occasionally gets to sleep with my wife."
"That's disgraceful" said the inspector, "I need to interview the half-wit."
"That'll be me then," said Paddy.

Typical Irish joke. Loved the unexpected ending. Thanks for the chuckle. I can never remember jokes - the only one that does stay in my mind is the one about about the Irishman who bought a scarf but next day took it back to the shop because it was too tight...
His words!
That is too funny. Loved the ending.
LOL!!!!
There are times I feel like a half-wit myself.
