The New Zealand Taxation Office suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to investigate him.
NZ TAX AGENT TO BOAT OWNER: "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 $1,000 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, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Coruba rum and a dozen Lagers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally". NZ TO AUDITOR: "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"? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
