I'm gonna do this "ecka"-style, mkay?
NP sat in his corvult, scanning the sector. Seing it was all clear, and probably would stay that way for some time, he reached into the small bar to get a shot of whisky. Choosing the irish kind today, he was suddenly reminded of a story his great great great grandfather had heard on one of his travels on the fabled earth.
An irishman wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test.
Here is you first question, the foreman said: "without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"without numbers" the irishman says, "dat is easy." And proceeds to draw three trees.
"what is this?" the foreman asks.
"Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine", says the irishman.
"fair enough", says the foreman. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."
The irishman stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "ere you go."
The boss scratches his head and says, "how on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
"Each of the trees are dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree, dat is 99."
The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this irishman, so he says: "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
The Irishman stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go one hundred."
The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
The Irishman leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says: "A little dog come along and crap by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, which makes one hundred."
"So, when do I start?"
Chuckling to himself, NP fired up the engines after finishing his whisky, there was probably some guildmatters that needed attention...
OOC: I didn't invent this, I just forward it for your amusement =)
