Boat Owner Joke

[Gerry Zagorski]

The Newfoundland Department of Employment believed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help.
An agent was sent to the fishing village to investigate the boat owner.
GOVT AGENT: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".


Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my hired hand. He's been with me for 3 years.
I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.

>>> Then there's the mentally challenged guy.

>>> He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here.
>>>
>>> He makes about $10 per week, and pays his own room and board.
>>>
>>> I buy him a bottle of Lamb's rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life.
>>>
>>> Also, he gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".
>>>
>>>
>>> GOVT AGENT: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one".
>>>
>>>
>>> Boat Owner:
>>>
>>> "That'll be me.
>>>
>>> What'd you want to know?"
