A construction site boss was interviewing men for a job, when along came Murphy. The boss thought, "I'm not hiring that lazy Mick..." so he decided to set a test for Murphy 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. Murphy says, "Dats easy" and proceeds to draw three trees. The boss says, "What the hell is that?" Murphy says "Tree 'n tree n' tree makes nine". Fair enough, says the boss.
Second question, same rules, but represent 99. Murphy 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 says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" Murphy says, "each tree's dirty now! So it's dirty tree, n' dirty tree n' dirty tree, dats 99."
The boss is getting worried he's going to have to hire him, so he says, "All right, question three. Same rules again, but represent the number 100". Murphy stares into space again, then he shouts, "I got it!" he makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and says, "There ya go sir. 100." The boss looks at Murphy's attempt and thinks, Ha! Got him this time. "Go on Murphy, you must be crazy if you think that represents a hundred."
Murphy leans forward and points to the 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 a hundred, when do I start my job?"

Three Irish guys go into a pub, have a few pints and are ready to leave and pay their tab. The bar back brings them a bill for exactly £30.00. Each guy gives him a tenner, and they leave.
When the bar back hands the £30.00 to the bartender, he is told a mistake was made. The bill was only £25.00, not £30.00. The bartender gives the bar back five £1.00 notes and tells him to take it back to the 3 Irish guys.
On their way out of the pub, the bar back has a thought... these guys did not give him a tip. (Editor's note: yes, I know they do not generally tip in Ireland, please just play along…) He figures that since there is no way to split £5.00 evenly three ways anyhow, he will keep two pounds for himself and give them back three pounds.
OK! So far so good!
He taps one of the guys on the shoulder and explains about a mix up in the bill, and hands the guy the three pounds, then departs with his two-pound tip in his pocket.
Now the fun begins!
Remember £30-£25=£5 Right? £5-£3=£2 Right?
So what's the problem?
All is well, right?
Not quite… Answer this:
Each of the three guys originally gave £10.00 each.
They each got back £1.00 in change.
That means they paid £9.00 each, which times three is £27.00.
The delivery boy kept £2.00 for a tip.
£27.00 plus £2.00 equals £29.00.
Where the heck is the other pound??????????

the whole statement is just plain wrong.
firstly when the statement said the bill was $25 the statement then concentrated on the guy giving the three irishmen $1. Then the statement said if each of them paid $10 and got $1 change and 3 x $9 is 27 their must be a missing dollar. well thats simply not true.
the statement should of worked out the following maths.
$25 / 3 = $8.33 each (the .33 thus making up the dollar)
$8.33 + $1 = $9.33
$9.33 x 3 = $28
$28 + $2 = $30

yes AC that is working it back to the $30 and how it works out. i was working it back to the actual bill of $25 where each mick pays $9 and provides an unknowing $2 tip to the delivery boy. remember it is a riddle and supposed to confuse people...but not us! Knowledge is power, ignorance is death

The pub was very quiet apart from the two Irishmen drinking in the corner. "Well Paddy" says Mick opening the conversation with a flourish "Whereabouts in our lovely country do you come from?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "I am a man of Munster". "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because I am a man of Munster too. Tell me which county of Munster you call home?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "That would be County Kerry". "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because I also call County Kerry home. Tell me within County Kerry which town or village do you call home?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "I call Milltown home". "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because I also call Milltown home. Tell me which part of the village you lived in?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "We were right in the middle of the village next door to the church." "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because we also lived right in the middle of the village next door to the church. Tell me which road you lived on?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "We lived at Church Road, between the church and the pub." "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because we also lived at Church Road, between the church and the pub! What number Church Road were you?" "Well Mick" says Paddy thinking "We were at number 42." "Well Paddy" says Mick "Now that is very interesting because we also lived at number 42." At this point the manager came in and asked the barman how trade was. The barman replied "Very quiet this evening boss.....apart from the Murphy twins". KTBFFH!

Nick and Paddy went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, 'Knicker Stitcher.. I sew da elastic onto ladies' knickers and thongs...' The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him £80 a week unemployment pay. Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel Fitter.' Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick £160 a week. When Paddy found out he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.' 'What skill?' yelled Paddy. 'I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says: 'Yep, Deez'le fit 'er.' ^^^^^^^**************************^^^^^^^

pinched this from Gai...thought it was really funny... The Irish Funeral A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 Feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said: "I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" "My wife's." ''What happened to her?" "She yelled at me and my dog attacked and killed her." He inquired further, "But who is in the second hearse?" The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her." A very poignant and touching moment of brotherhood and silence passed between the two men. "Can I borrow the dog?" The man replied, "Get in line." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
