When the Boss is the 'Half-Wit': Hilarious Farm Inspection Fail!

Paddy McCoy, an elderly Irish farmer, received a letter from the Department for Work & Pensions stating they suspected he was not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and they would send an inspector to interview them. 📬😲

On the appointed day, the inspector turned up. 🕵️‍♂️

"Tell me about your staff," he asked Paddy.

"Well," said Paddy, "there's the farm hand, I pay him £240 a week, and he has a free cottage. 🏡💷

Then there's the housekeeper. She gets £190 a week, along with free board and lodging. 🛏️🍽️

There's also the half-wit. He works a 16-hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about £25 a week along with a bottle of whisky, 🥃 and as a special treat, occasionally gets to sleep with my wife." 😳😏

"That's disgraceful," said the inspector. "I need to interview the half-wit."

"That'll be me then," said Paddy. 😂
