Cajun man wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a
little math test. "Here's your first question," the foreman said.
"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Witout numbers?" the Cajun says, "Dat is eesy." and proceeds to draw
three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine," says the
Cajun.
"Fair enough," says the boss "Here's your second question. Use the same
rules, but this time the number is 99."
The Cajun stares into space for awhile, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree.
"Ere you go."
The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to
represent 99?"
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99."
The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Cajun, so he says, "all right, last question.
Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
The Cajun stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture
again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere
you go. One hundred."
The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
The Cajun leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each
tree and says, "A little dog came along and crap by each tree. So now
you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree
and a turd, which makes one hundred.....So, when I start?!"
