Ho ho ho, y'all! Well, we've got the Christmas orders out, and now it's a four day weekend around here. Thanks to everyone who placed an order at Desert Island Foods®.com, it's really gratifying to see how many of you come back to re-order time and time again, there's a lot of very familiar names to us now.
Steve has sent in a great Friday Funny, which lamely I'm posting on Saturday, but hopefully the result is the same.
Have wonderful Christmas, and thanks again for your support!
The Half-Wit
A man owned a small farm in South Dakota. and was being investigated by The South Dakota Wage Department, which claimed that he wasn't paying proper wages to his help. They sent an agent out to the farm to look into the matter.
" I need a run-down of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's ol' Bob, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months; I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit who works 18 hours a day and ends up doing 90% of everything that gets done around here. He makes about $10 a week and pays his own room and board. I buy him a bottle of bourbon every other Saturday and, on occasion, he gets to sleep with my wife."
"Aha!!! That's the man I want to talk to," says the agent.
"That would be me," says the farmer.
Merry Christmas, Scott!!
Merry Christmas, Diana! Hopefully you'll get all of the snow brushed off your grill soon.
