    SMILE . . . . NOT TOO MANY OF US OUT HERE APPRECIATE THE REALITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND LIFE!

 

 

 

 

The Canada Department of Employment believed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help. 

An agent was sent to the fishing village of Burin to investigate the boat owner.

GOVT AGENT: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".

Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my hired hand. He's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 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, and pays his own room and board.  

I buy him a bottle of Lamb's rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life.   Also, he gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".  

GOVT AGENT: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one".


Boat Owner: "That'll be me. What'd you want to know?"
