You know...new people to this site will go away thinking you're all fruitcakes...as you probably are.
Fish can't count,
When I tried this using a calculator, their fins couldn't even press the buttons, as for counting....mine wouldn't even answer when you give them a simple sum...

Why are excluding yourself from the fruitcake group?

Your fish can count, they just know that if they let on you'll be putting them to work doing your accounts. They're not as daft as you think

You know..I'm touched..you make me feel, well...sort of welcome, to be described as one of the fruitcakes, it brought tears to my eyes......


I've got someone in at the moment "Trying" to get our accounts into some sort of order....not took sure if he's winning.

And fish are thick, they can't count, they don't even tidy their own mess up, they swim round the pond, when they bump into another fish they say Hello, glad to meet you, then two minutes later when they meet the same fish again, they say Hello, glad to meet you. They don't take the time to count, cos if they did, they would have met two thousand four hundred fish that morning alone, then working out there is only six thousand gallons of water, it should be very over crowded....
