A Cajun Shrimper wants a job, but the Foreman
                                      won't hire him until he passes a little math test. -"Here is
                           your first question,"
the foreman said. "Without using numbers,
                  represent the number 9."   -"Without numbers?"
the Cajun says, "Dat is easy!" And then proceeds to draw  three trees.










-"What's this?' the foreman asks.
-"Ave you got no brain, Boss? Tree and tree and tree make nine!" says the Cajun.

-"Fair enough," says the foreman. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."

The Cajun 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, Boss"










The foreman scratches his head and says, -"How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"  -"Well, Boss, each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree... and, dat makes 99."

The foreman 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 this time you 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, Boss. One hundred!"










The foreman 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 come along and poop by each tree.... So, now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which make one hundred."
> tree and a turd, dirty tree and a tur
The Cajun is now
the new supervisor.
