Subject: Math Test


A Norwegian 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."
"Without numbers?" the Norwegian says, "Dat is easy." And he 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 Norwegian.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same 
rules, but this time the number is 99." The Norwegian 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?" "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 
Norwegian, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but 
represent
the number 100." The Norwegian 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!" (You're going to love this one!!!) The Norwegian 
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 I 
start?"
