A Cajun is applying for a job. The boss says, Ima give you short math test. Here is a piece of paper and a pen. Now, I want you to represent the number 9 for me, without using numbers, just pictures.
The cajun drew 3 trees. The boss says, ok, now how dat represent 9? The cajun says, well, tree and tree and tree is 9.
Boss says.. ah ok. Now, next question, represent the number 99 for me.
The Cajun thinks a bit, and then draws a smudge on each tree. Boss says, now how do that represent 99? Cajun says, dirty tree and dirty tree and dirty tree is 99. Boss says, dam boy you smart. Alright one final question, represent the number 100 for me now, just shapes. Start over if you need.
The cajun thinks real hard.. then draws what appears to be a piece of poop at the bottom of each tree. The boss says, now silly, how in the world do that represent 100??
Cajun says, well see that's dog poop. Dirty tree and a turd and dirty tree and a turd and dirty tree and a turd equals 100! Now when do I start!
