italian math
an italian man wants a job, but the foreman wont hire him until he passes a little math test..."here's your first question", the foreman said. "without using numbers, represent the number nine"
"withouta numbers?" the italian man says, "dat is easy." and he proceeds to draw three trees.
"whats this?" the boss asks.
"ave you got no brain? tree and tree and tree make nine", says the italian man
"fair enough, here is your next question. use the same rules, but this time the number is 99"
the italian stares into space for a while, 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?"
the boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this itlaian, so he says, "alright, last question, represent 100"
he stares off into space and then makes a mark under 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 italian 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, dat make one hundred...so when do i start?"
