[SFDXA] A deze and dozer

[Peter Rimmel]

Here's what sailing away on a sailboat does to the brain:

Just got back, and ...

A construction boss in Boston was interviewing men when along came a
guy named Vinny from New York. "I'm not hiring any wise-ass 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
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!"

New York Vinny leans forward and points to the marks at the base
of the trees.  "A little doggie comes along and takes a shit 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 boom, bada
bing....When do I freakin' start?"
