This is a good joke i came across, it reminded me of my family's cabinet shop that my Grandfather ran for 50+ years, where he had a sign on the wall that said:
This is a non-profit organization. It wasn't intended that way, but that is how it is turning out.
Employment Standards determined a small woodworking shop owner 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, there's Jake my finisher who's been with me for 3 years, I pay him $900 a week.
The apprentice Tom has been here for 6 months, and I pay him $500 a week.
Then there's the half-wit that works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a case of beer every Friday," replied the owner.
"That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent."
The owner says, "That would be me."
PS: This may not be the proper forum to post it in, but if so, please move. This one just gets the most traffic and I figured the most people would get enjoyment from it here.
