The reference to the $1.15 minimum wage in the previous post reminded me of this story which I believe had been posted here a number of years ago but is still worth a laugh:

The Ohio Department of Labor claimed a small town Packard mechanic was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.

Agent: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them."

Shop owner: "Well, there's my trainee who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 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."

Agent: "That's the guy I want to talk to... the mentally challenged one."

Shop owner: "That would be me."
