Speaking of off-topic non-grub related numbers stuff ...

Your #17 struck a nerve with me.

In pre-school, my older son could never remember to say "17" when he was counting from 1 to 20. A mental block, I guess. He'd write them all out in sequence, but when verbalizing, he'd ALWAYS forget 17.

I was tempted to conveniently forget his 17th birthday, but my sensitive side wouldn't let me. Neither would my wife.

The good news is that now he's an adult and doing well as a productive member of society, not many people ask him to count from 1 to 20.

Except for me, of course. We both get a good laugh out of it.
