Comment by Aggie on October 1, 2013 at 5:16pm: A man owned a small farm in South Georgia. The Wage and Hour
Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to interview him.

"You just give me a list of your employees and tell me how much you pay them."

"All right," said the farmer. "I have a hired man. Been with me for three years. I pay him $600 a week, plus room and board. I have a cook. She's been here six months. She gets $500 a week plus room and board."

"Anybody else?" asked the agent as he scribbled on a note pad.

"Yeah," the farmer said. "This guy is none too bright. Works about eighteen hours a day. I pay him ten dollars a week and give him chewing tobacco."

"Aha!" the agent roared. "I want to talk to that man!"

"Speaking," said the farmer.

Comment by Aggie on September 30, 2013 at 7:17pm: AUSTIN — DeLoss Dodds, who helped build the richest athletic department in the country during more than 32 years at Texas, will announce on Tuesday he will step down as the Longhorns’ athletic director next summer, two UT sources said Monday.

Dodds, 74, will remain in his current position until Aug. 31, 2014, and then stay at UT as a consultant, the sources said. Earlier this month, Dodds denied an Internet report he would leave his post before the end of the calendar year. UT hopes to have a replacement for Dodds before he steps down.

Dodds’ pending announcement comes at a time when football coach Mack Brown, whose team is 2-2 this year following three other subpar seasons, is facing intense speculation about his job security. Men’s basketball coach Rick Barnes and baseball coach Augie Garrido also have seen their programs dip in recent years.

Since arriving from Kansas State in 1981, Dodds has overseen a men’s program that won 14 national championships and 107 conference titles. He led the charge to erect gleaming new stadiums, to renovate the old ones with state-of-the-art amenities and luxury boxes, and to turn his department into a money-printing machine that generated a national-best $163.3 million last year.
