Old good days by Camille Pissaro. Cow girl (Eragny: 1887)
|
My remark (GW): When the iron and steel industry has been able to produce cheap wire, the peasants were able to close their meadows ... and the young French girts did not have to keep the herds anymore and were able to go to school. Technical progress has quite often enabled the liberation of women. A nice web page about Pissaro See Pissaro |

An Irishman went for an interview with one of the major blue chip computer
companies
When the interview was over the interviewer told him that all applicants
had to complete a test. The interviewer took a piece of paper and drew
six vertical lines in pairs of two on the paper and placed it in front
of the Irishman.
“Could you please show me a clever way to make this into nine?”
After thinking for a while the Irishman took the pencil and drew a canopy
of leaves on top of the three pairs of lines, and handed the paper back
to the interviewer.
The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not nine!”
“Oh yes it is”, said the Irishman with a broad Irish accent, “Tree + Tree
+ Tree make nine!”
The interviewer handed the paper back to the Irishman and asked him to
make it 99.
After thinking for a long while the Irishman scribbled up and down the
trunks and handed the paper back to the interviewer.
The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not ninety-nine!”
“Oh yes it is”, said the Irishman, “Dirty tree + dirty tree + dirty tree
make ninety-nine.”
The interviewer was now a bit cheesed off so he decided to do the Irishman
once and for all, therefore, he handed the paper back to the Irishman
and asked him to make it 100.
After thinking for a considerably longer time the Irishman suddenly grabbed
the pencil and drew a little blop on the bottom right-hand side of each
three and handed the paper back to the interviewer.
The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not 100!”
“Oh yes it most certainly is”, said the Irishman with a much broader Irish
accent,
“Dirty tree and a turd + dirty tree and turd + dirty tree and a turd,
make a 100.
