A Norwegian man wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test.
"Here's your first question," the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" the Norwegian says, "Dat is?? easy." And he 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
Norwegian.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same
rules, but this time the number is 99."
The Norwegian 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 sas, "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 that he's going to actually have to hire this
Norwegian, so he says, "All right, last question.? Same rules again,
but represent the number 100."
The Norwegian 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!"
(You're going to love this one!!!)
The Norwegian leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each
tree and says, "A little dog came along and crap by each tree. So now you
got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd,
dat make one hundred... So, when I start?"

A beautiful "Mallu" female( from the heart of Kerala) went for a job interview for the post of a SECRETARY and also said she is good at english. When the manager saw the Mallu's colorful attire, gold, well oiled uncombed jet black hair, his mind was screaming "NOT THIS WOMAN".
Nevertheless, he still had to entertain the Mallu. So he told her "If you could form a sentence using the words that I give you, then maybe I will give you a chance! The words are GREEN, PINK, YELLOW, BLUE, WHITE, PURPLE and BLACK".
The enthusiastic Mallu lady thought for a while and said :
"I hear the phone GREEN GREEN GREEN, then I go and PINK up the phone, I say YELLOW....BLUE'S that? WHITE did you say? Aiye, wrong number....Don't PURPLELY disturb people and don't call BLACK, ok? Thank You."
