The IRS Agent And Fishing Boat Owner

The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn’t paying proper wages to his Deckhand,

So they sent an agent to investigate him.

IRS AGENT: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them”.

Boat Owner: “Well, there’s Clarence, my deckhand, he’s been with me for 3 years.

I pay him $1,000 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 $30 per week, pays his own room and board,

And I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen Budweiser’s every Saturday night so he can cope with life.

He also meet with my wife occasionally”.

IRS AGENT: “That’s the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one”.

Boat Owner: “That would be me. What would you like to know”?
