My dad sent me this and I thought it was amusing enough to show others.

Boudreaux went into the fish market to apply for a
job. The boss thought to himself - I'm not hiring that
lazy Cajun, so he decided to set a test for Boudreaux
hoping he wouldn't be able to answer the questions and
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."
Boudreaux says, "Dat's easy" and proceeds to draw
three trees.
The boss says, "What in the world is that?"
Boudreaux says, "Tree 'n tree 'n tree makes nine."
"Fair enough" says the boss. "Second questions, same
rules, but represent 99".
Boudreaux 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?"
Boudreaux 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
Boudreaux so he says, "All right, question number 3.
Same rules again, but this time represent the number
100."
Boudreaux 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 Boudreaux's attempt and thinks, "Ha!
got him this time." He then tells Boudreaux, "Go on,
Boudreaux, you must be crazy if you think that
represents a 100."
Boudreaux 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?"
