IRS Auditor ...
The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn’t paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him.
IRS AUDITOR:
“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them”.
Boat Owner:
“Well, there’s Clarence, my deckhand, 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 Bacardi rum and a dozen Budweisers every Saturday night so he can cope with life.
He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally”.
IRS AUDITOR:
“That’s the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one”.
Boat Owner:
“That would be me. What would you like to know”?
