Cajun Math Skills <br /> <br />A Houston construction site boss was interviewing men for a job, when along came a Cajun. "I'm not hiring any Cajuns!", the foreman thought to himself, so he made up a test to avoid hiring the Cajun without getting into an argument. <br /><br />"Here's your first question," the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." <br />"Mitout numbers?" The Cajun said, "Dat be easy," and proceeded to draw three trees. <br />"What's this supposed to mean?" the boss asked. <br />" 'Ave you got no brain? Tree a nd tree and tree make nine!" said the Cajun. <br /><br />"Fair enough," replied the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99." <br />The Cajun stared into space for a while, then picked up the picture that he just drew and made a smudge on each tree. " 'ere you go." <br />The boss scratched his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" <br /><br />"Each of da trees is dirty now! So it's: dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat be 99, eh?" <br />The boss was getting worried that he was going to have to hire this Cajun, so he said, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100!" <br /><br />The Cajun stared into space for a bit, then he picked up the same picture again and made a little mark at the base of each tree, and said, "Er you go! One hundred!" <br /><br />The boss looked at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!" <br /><br />The Cajun leaned forward and pointed to the marks at the base of each tree, and said, "A little dog, he come along and lays a little poopy-pie by each tree. <br /><br />So now you got: dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes one hundred, by gum! <br />__________________________________________________<br />"A Defence Attorney"<br /><br />A Chicago lawyer named George successfully<br />defends a major crime lord from charges of<br />dealing drugs, racketeering, murder, kidnapping,<br />and selling arms.<br /><br />As he is leaving the courtroom, an indignant old<br />woman grabs him by the arm. "Young man, where<br />are your Christian scruples? I believe you would<br />defend Satan himself!"<br /><br />"I don't know," George says, "what has your kid done?"<br />__________________________________________________<br />"Ten Commandments"<br /><br />The Ten Commandments display was removed<br />from the Alabama Supreme Court building.<br /><br />There was a good reason for the move.<br /><br />You can't post "Thou Shalt Not Steal" in a building<br />full of lawyers and politicians without creating a<br />hostile work environment.
