Twenty, XX, 20

Count to 20. Come on this should not be hard. If you're no good at doing math in your head, or even on your computer, you can always do it the old-fashioned way, on your fingers and toes. So where do these idiots come from that can't count to 20? "What idiots?" you ask. The ones in the express lane at the grocery store! Yesterday I picked up 2 items at WalMart, 2 items. The family in front of me in the Express Lane had half a shopping cart full of stuff. The bonehead cashier is ringing it up one by one.. by one, by one... Forget it. So I go to the adjacent Express Lane. The lady in front of me only has 4 items, 4 little bedroom size wastebaskets, apparently one for each of the school age children she has in tow. This should be quick. Damn, why is she having such a hard time lifting them from the cart to the checkstand? Am I in the handicapped lane? NO! Each wastebasket is filled with school supplies for each of the 4 kids. Pencils, paper, protractors and compasses. Notebooks, both 3 ring binders and spiral notebooks......probably a dozen or more for each kid. What the hell? If she has enough brains do sort her kids stuff into 4 seperate wastebaskets, why the hell can't she count to 20?

It's real simple count your purchases on all your fingers and all your toes. If you have any items left over, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THE EXPRESS LANE!

No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service. You see, that right there is the problem. They can't count on their toes no more cause they gots to wear shoes to go in the store. No wonder they can't count.
