Paddy wanted to be an accountant, so he went for an aptitude
test:
 
Tester: If I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another
two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
 
Paddy : SEVEN!
 
Tester : No, listen carefully again. If I give you two Rabbits,
and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have
you got?
 
Paddy : SEVEN!
 
Tester : Let's try this another way. If I give you two bottles
of beer, and two bottles of beer, and another two bottles of
beer, how many bottles of beer have you got?
 
Paddy : SIX.
 
Tester : Good! Now, if I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits,
and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?
 
Paddy : SEVEN!
 
Tester : How on Earth do you work out that three lots of two
rabbits is seven?
 
Paddy : I've already got one rabbit at home!
