"A man owned a small farm in Texas. The Texas Wage & Hour Dept.
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 rancher, "There's my ranch hand who's been with me for
3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been
here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 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."

"That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit," says the agent.

"That would be me," replied the farmer.

Hi Yucca Flats....I can relate to that. Being an old farm hand and owner. I like your handle. The only Yucca Flats area that I know of is below Kingman. I have not been down that way, but was able to get some acreage in the Dolan Springs area a few years ago before the cost went out of sight. If you are in that area, would be interested in knowing how you like it there..jerry
