<strong>The</strong> clever<br />

Italian<br />

immigrant ...<br />

An recent Italian immigrant to New York<br />

wanted a job, but the foreman won’t hire<br />

him until he passes a little math test.<br />

”Here’s your first question,” the foreman<br />

said. “Without using numbers, represent<br />

the number 9.”<br />

”Without numbers?” the Italian says, “Dat is<br />

easy.”<br />

And he proceeds to draw three trees.<br />

”What’s this?” the boss asks.<br />

”Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and<br />

tree make nine,” says the Italian.<br />

”Fair enough,” says the boss. “Here’s your<br />

second question. Use the same rules, but<br />

this time the number is 99”.<br />

”<strong>The</strong> Italian stares into space for a while,<br />

then picks up the picture that he has just<br />

drawn and makes a smudge on each tree.<br />

“Here you go.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> boss scratches his head and says, “How<br />

on earth do you get that to represent 99?”<br />

”Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it’s dirty<br />

tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.”<br />

”All right, last question. Same rules again,<br />

but represent the number 100.<br />

”<strong>The</strong> Italian man stares into space some<br />

more, then he picks up the picture again<br />

and makes a little mark at the base of each<br />

tree and says, “Here you go. One hundred.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> boss looks at the attempt.<br />

“You must be nuts if you think that<br />

represents a hundred!”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Italian leans forward and points to the<br />

marks at the base of each tree and says, “A<br />

little dog came along and crap by each tree.<br />

So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty<br />

tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd,<br />

dat make one hundred. So, when I start?”<br />
