Bubba went into the fish market to apply for a job. The boss thought to himself
- I’m not hiring that lazy Redneck, so he decided to set a test for Bubba hoping
he wouldn’t be able to answer the questions – then he’d be able to refuse him
the job without getting into an argument.
The first question was, “Without using numbers, represent the number 9.”
Bubba says, “Dat’s easy” and proceeds to draw three trees.
The boss says, “What in the world is that?”
Bubba says, “Tree ’n tree ’n tree makes nine.”
“Fair enough” says the boss. “Second questions, same rules, but represent 99.”
Bubba stares into space for a while, then makes a smudge on each tree. “Der ya go sir,” he says.
The boss scratches his head and asks, “How on earth do you get that to represent 99?”
Bubba answers, “Each tree is dirty now, so it’s dirty tree ’n dirty tree ’n dirty tree - dat 99.”
The boss is getting worried he’s going to have to hire Bubba so he says, “All right, question number 3. Same rules again, but this time represent the number 100.”
Bubba stares into space again, then he shouts, “I got it!”
He makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, “Der ya go sir - 100.”
The boss looks at Bubba’s attempt and thinks, “Ha! Got him this time...”
He then tells Bubba, “Go on, Bubba, you must be crazy if you think that represents a 100.”
Bubba leans forward and points to the little marks at the tree bases and says, “A little dog comes along and craps by each tree, so now ya got dirty tree an’ a turd, dirty tree an’ a turd, and dirty tree an’ a turd, which makes 100. When do
I start my job?”
