So it\u2019s a dirty tree plus a dirty tree plus a dirty tree. It\u2019s 99.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, last question. Again, the same rules, but represent the number 100?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The old man stares into space again; Then he picks up the picture, makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and hands it back.<\/p>\n<p>The boss looks at the picture of the man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The old man leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA little dog came along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, which makes 100.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LOL!!!<\/p>\n<p>Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!<\/p>\n<p>A man was interviewed for the new job<br \/>\nAt the interview for the new job, I was asked, \u201cWhat would your friends say are your weaknesses?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have any!\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer seemed a little surprised and said, \u201cThat can\u2019t be true.
