—I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them, the investigator said.
—Well, replied the rancher, there’s my ranch hand, who’s been with me for three years. I pay him $1,200 a week, plus free room and board.
—The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $1,000 a week, plus free room and board.
—Then there’s the half-w!t. He works about 18 hours every day, with no days off, and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 a week and pays his own room and board.
The rancher looked the investigator straight in the eye.
—But I buy him a bottle of b0urb0n every Saturday night, and he also sl€€ps with my wife occasionally.
