An Alberta construction site boss was interviewing men
for a job,when along came Mr. Cormier from Quebec. I'm not hiring
any Quebecers," the foreman thought to himself, so he
made up a test hoping that the Quebecois wouldn't be
able to answer the questions, and he'd be able to
refuse him the job without getting into an argument.
Here's your first question," the foreman said.
"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Witout numbers?" The Quebecois says. "Dat is easy,"
and proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make
nine." says the Quebecer.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here is your second
question. Use the same rules, but this time the number
is 99."
The Quebecois 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 da trees is dirty now! So it's dirty tree,
and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99."
The boss is getting worried he's going to have to hire
him, so he says, "Alright, last question. Same rules
again, but represent the number100."
The Quebecer stares into space again, then he picks up
the picture again and makes a little mark at the base
of each tree, and says, "Ere you go. One'undred."
The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if
you think that represents a hundred."
The Quebecois leans forward and points to the marks at
the treebases, and says, "A little dog come along and
crap by each tree, so now you've got dirty tree and a
turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a
turd, which make one 'undred.
So when do I start?
