An elderly man wants a job, but the foremanwon’t hire him until he passes a little maths test:
“Here is your first question.” The foreman says.
“Without using numbers, represent the number nine?”
“Without numbers?
The old man says. “That’s easy.
And he proceeds to draw three trees.
“What’s this?” The boss asks.
“Have you no brain? Tree plus tree plus tree makes nine.” Saysthe old man.
“Fair enough.” Says the boss.
“Here’s your second question. Use the same rules, but thistime the number is 99?”
The man stares into space for a while, then picks up thepicture that he has just drawn makes a smudge on each treeand hands it back.
The boss scratches his head and says
“How on earth do you get that to represent 99?”
“Each of the trees is dirty now. So, it’s a dirty tree plus a dirtytree plus a dirty tree. That makes 99.”
“All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent thenumber 100?”
The old man stares into space again; he then picks up thepicture makes a little mark at the base of each tree and handsit back.
The boss looks at the man’s picture
“You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred?’
The old man leans forward and points to the marks at the baseof each tree and whispers
“A little dog came along and pooped by each tree. so now yougot dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, plus dirtytree and a turd, which makes 100.”

A71-year-old man is having a drink in a chicagobar when an exceptionally gorgeous and s-e.xyyoung woman enters.
She was so striking that the elderly man couldn’t take his eyesaway from her.
The young woman noticed his overly attentive stare andwalked directly toward him.
Before he could apologize for being rude, the young womansaid, “I’ll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want meto do, no matter how kinky, for $100 on one condition.’
Stunned, the man asked what the condition was.
The young woman replied, “You have to tell me what you wantme to do in just three words.”
The old man considered her proposition for a moment,withdrew his wallet from his pocket, and slowly counted outfive $20 bills, which he pressed into the young woman’s hand.
He looked into her eyes and slowly, meaningfully said, “Paint my house.”
