Can you relate to this?

A Manitoba Farmer owned a small farm near Carberry, and the Manitoba Dept of Labour claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help, and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees, and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $500 a week plus free room, and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $350 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit.
He works about 18 hours every day, and does about 90% of all the work around here.
He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room, and board, and I buy him a bottle of Seagram’s Whisky every Saturday night.
He also occasionally sleeps with my wife."
Excitedly the agent exclaims,
"That's the guy I want to talk to the half-wit."
"That would be me," replied the Farmer.
“How can I help you?”
