WATTIE owned a small farm in Aberdeenshire.
One day,the Department of Employment claimed he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent a representative out to interview him.
"Ineed a list of your employees and how much you pay them,"demanded the official.
"Well,"replied Wattie,"there'smy farm hand ,who's been with me for 3 years.

"The Cook/housekeeper has been here 18months,and ipay her £150per week plus free room and board.
"Then there is the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90 per cent of all the workaround here. He makes about £10 per week,pays for his own room and board,and i buy him a bottle of whisky every Saturday night.
He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
