The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him.
IRS AUDITOR: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".
Boat Owner: "Well, there's t-boi , 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 $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Jack Daniels every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".
IRS AUDITOR: "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"?

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Those nick-named Duke: John Wayne and Mr. Ross. Our dog is named Duke, though not a nick-name.
My last boss was Duke Newton. He was of average height, carried well the more than a few extra pounds, had a gravelly voice, and was rough as a cob. He knew his job, didn't know mine, so left me alone. We got along quite well and he pushed the company for raises that I normally would not have received. One day, and quite by chance, I learned his real first name. Huey. Duke was white.
