When we stopped by the market to pick up a couple of things we went to the '8 items or less' checkout (as you will when you have less than 8 - or perhaps 9 if you have 2 of the same thing). A woman ahead of us had considerably more things in her basket than that - oblivious as she put them on the counter. By the time it was our turn the clerk, a sweet lady we see fairly often, told us a joke:
If you see the sign that says '8 items or less' and ignore it then you're either a mathematician who can't read or an English major who can't count.
I like that line. Of course I'm sure she had plenty of opportunities to come up with it. In her line of work it's a situation that arises pretty frequently.

Hope you enjoyed a good sleep.
