I
don't want to hire any wise-ass New
Yorker, the foreman thought, so he
made up a test ...
hoping that Vincenzo wouldn't be able
to answer the questions, and he'd be
able to refuse him the job without
getting into a dispute.
"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?" Replied Viiny:
"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 represent
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!"
Vinny leans
forward and points to the marks at the
base of the trees. "A little doggie
comes along and does his business at
each of dem trees, so now ya got dirty
tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a turd,
dirty tree an'a turd which makes one
hundred. ...
..... Bada
boom, bada bing. ........ When do I
start the job?"
