A construction boss in Boston was interviewing
men when along came a guy
named Vinny from New York. I'm not hiring any
wise-guy New Yorker, the
foreman thought, so he made up a test hoping that
Vinny wouldn't be able
to answer the questions, and he'd be able to refuse
him the job without
getting into a dispute. "Here's your first question," the
foreman said.
"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Widout
numbiz?" Vinny says. "Dat's easy," and he proceeds to draw
3
trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
The New Yorker replies,
"Ain't you got no brains? Tree 'n Tree 'n Tree
makes nine.
Faghedaboutit........."
"Fair enough," says the Boss. "Here's your second
question. Use the
same rules, but this time use the number 99."
Vinny
stares into space for a minute, then picks up the picture he has
drawn and
makes a smudge on each tree. "Dare ya go, Buddy."
The Boss scratches his head
and says, "How on earth do you get that to
reprsent 99?"
Vinny says
"Each a da tree's is dirty now! So it's dirty tree 'n dirty tree
'n dirty
tree -- dat's 99".
The Boss is getting worried he's going to have to hire
the New Yorker,
so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules but this
time use 100."
Vinny stares into space again, then picks up the picture once
again,
makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Dare ya go,
Mac, a
hunnert."
The Boss looks at the picture for a moment and says,
"You must be nuts
if you think that represents 100!"
New York Vinny
leans forward and points to the mark at the base of the
trees. "A little
doggie comes along and takes a dump on each a dem
trees, so now ya got dirty
tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a turd, dirty tree
an' a turd -- which makes
a hunnert. Bada bing, bada boom. When do I
freakin'
start?"
Best regards,
