An old man applies for a job, but the manager says he must pass a short math test.
“First question,” says the manager. “Without using numbers, show me the number 9.”
The old man draws three trees.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asks the manager.
“Tree plus tree plus tree equals nine.”
“Fair enough,” says the manager. “Now show me 99 using the same rules.”
The old man adds dirt to each tree.
“How does that mean 99?”
“Dirty tree plus dirty tree plus dirty tree.”
“Alright,” says the manager. “Last one: show me 100.”
The old man adds a small dog dropping beside each dirty tree.
The manager looks confused.
The old man explains:
“Dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd = 100.”
Then another joke:
During a job interview, I was asked,
“What would your friends say is your biggest weakness?”
I replied,
“I don’t have any.”
The interviewer said,
“That’s impossible. Everyone has weaknesses.”
I answered,
“No, you misunderstood. I said I don’t have any friends.”
