A construction boss in Belfast was interviewing men when along came a guy named Paddy from Dublin.
“I’m not hiring no dumb Paddy from Dublin” thought the boss, so he made up a test hoping that Paddy would fail and he’d be able to refuse him the job without getting into a dispute.
“Here’s your first question” the boss said. “Without using numbers,
represent the number 9.”“Wittout nombers?” Paddy says. “Agh! dat’s easy,” and he draws three
trees“What’s this?” the boss asks.
“Ain’t ye got no brains? tree, ‘n tree, ‘n tree makes noin.” says Paddy
“Fair enough,” says the boss. “Here’s your second question. Use the same rules, but this time use the number 99.”
Paddy thinks for a minute then picks up the picture he has drawn and
makes a smudge on each tree. “Der ye arr!”The boss scratches his head and asks “How on earth does that make 99?”
“Well,” says Paddy, “Each tree is dirty now! So dirty tree, ‘n dirty tree,’n dirty tree, makes nointynoin.”
The boss is getting worried that he may have to hire a Dubliner after
all so he thinks and says, “Last question, same rules but this time make it 100.”Paddy again thinks for a minute, then takes the picture and makes a
small mark at the bottom of each tree. “Der ye arr!”The boss looks at the picture and says, “You must be crazy that never
represents 100!”“Well then,” says Paddy, “Ye see, a little doggie comes along and has a shoit at de bottom of dem trees, so now ya got… dirty tree ‘n a turd, dirty tree ‘n a turd, dirty tree ‘n a turd an dat makes a hunnert! When do I start?”
To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!
