Kentucky Labor Cabinet called Department of Labor in other States :
The Kentucky Labor Cabinet claimed a small Louisville farmer was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.
Kentucky Labor Cabinet employee: I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.
Farmer: Well, there’s my farm hand that’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 sometimes 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.
Also he also sleeps with my wife occasionally.
Kentucky Labor Cabinet employee: That’s the guy I want to talk to…the mentally challenged one.
Farmer: Well that would be me.
