GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES RANCHER

[teesur]

A friend in the cow business sent me this and swore its true.

The Louisiana Department of Labor, Division of Labor Standards claimed a small rancher was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.

GOV'T AGENT: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".

RANCHER: " Well, there's my hired hand who's been with me for three years. I pay him $250.00 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 all the work around here.
He makes about $10 a week, pays his own room and board,
and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so
he can cope with life. He also sleeps with my wife
ocassionally".

GOV'T. AGENT: "AHH HAA! That's the guy I want to talk to -
the mentally challenged one".

RANCHER: "That would be me".
teesur.

That ain't funny...

Ranching is the only legal form of gambling in the State of Wyoming.

I know a feller that won a million dollars in the lottery. A reporter asked him what he would do with the winnings. He said, "Oh, I'll probably just keep on ranchin' 'til it's gone.."

Between cow prices, hay supplies, and the drought that shouldn't take more than 30 days or so here in Texas......

Old cartoonist Ace Reid said it best: "Other than the million dollars in experience I've had ranching, I ain't made a dime." Keep shootin'

I used to get calandars from the Farmers Exchange that were done by Ace Reid, as soon as I would get home I would look at all 12 months, another great one was the Bull of the Woods by J R Williams that was machine shop based. Jeff

"See that rancher over there? His spread's worth two million dollars.!"

"Yeah? Has he got a thousand dollars cash?"

"No, he ain't got THAT kind of money!"

Behind every successful rancher is a wife with a job in town.

Behind every successful rancher is a wife with a job in town.

Yep, with health insurance coverage.

I thought it was going to be the joke with the bull chasing the gubment agent and the rancher shouting, "Your badge! Show him your badge!"
