Paddy Has An Inspector Come To Visit His Farm …What He Says Next Is Pure Gold
Paddy McCoy, an elderly Irish farmer, received a letter from the Department for Work & Pensions stating that they suspected he was not paying his employees enough 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 gin, and about once every 6 months gets to sleep with the missus.”
“That’s who I want to talk to,” said the inspector, “the half-wit.”
“That’ll be me then,” said Paddy.
