<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 />
