This joke can be applied to bakery owners also. So everyone that thinks owning a Bakery is the "life" here ya go. icon_biggrin.gif

Mike

A man owned a small ranch near San Antonio .

The Texas Dept of Labor claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.

"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who'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, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.

"Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."

"That's the guy I want to talk to .. the half-wit," says the agent.

"That would be me," replied the Rancher.

funny cause it's true!

a couple years ago i sold my house to pay off the bakery.....with it all the appliances...

i just got a dishwasher at my new place a couple months ago...still don't have a washer or dryer.

there is a laundramat next door to the bakery.

you give up a lot to own a biz.

Oh, man. Thanks for that, Mike!!! It is so the truth! Probably why I have ventured into those dark waters yet. It is hard enough just doing it from the house!

What, what?! I thought once you opened a bakery you got to charge $1000 a serving for cake and it only takes 30 minutes to decorate it and you get to travel and ski and live a totally glamourus life!

My reply wasn't completely off-the-wall. This afternoon one of my co-workers asked me why I don't open my own bakery because I "could be making so much more money" than I am now. Even though no one at my work wants to buy cakes from me anymore because they think I charge too much.

...yeah, I don't get it either.
