     Paddy wants a job, but the boss won't hire him until he passes  a
little math's test.
   Here is your first question, the boss said. "Without using  numbers,
represent the number 9."
   "Without numbers?" Paddy says? "Dat's easy." And proceeds  to draw
three trees.

 What's this?" the boss asks.
  "Have you no brain? Tree and tree plus tree makes 9" says Paddy.

   "Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question.  Use the
same rules, but this time the number is 99."
   Paddy stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that
he has  just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree.. "Ere ye go."

   The boss scratches his head and says, How on earth do you get
that to  represent 99?"
   "Each of them trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty
tree,  plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99."

   The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire
Paddy,  so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but
represent  the number 100."
   Paddy 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 ye go.
One  hundred."

   The boss looks at the attempt.You must be nuts if you think
that  represents a hundred!"
   Paddy leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree
and  whispers, "A little dog came along and pooped by each tree.
   So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and
dirty tree  and a turd, which makes ONE HUNDRED!"

  Paddy is the new supervisor.
