    Sorry, we retentives and OCDs have to count the strokes; wouldn't want to under or over do, you know: can't under or over do, you know.

    I've got the OCD thing too, so I can't deal anymore with loosing count and starting all over.

    OCD ??? You want OCD ??? .... I count both directions & divide by 2 !!!
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    My wife loves to ask me questions when I'm stropping. Just have to start counting again, out loud, until I get to one hundred.

    "It [a knife] is like a wife: every night, you had better stroke it."
    -Bolivar, the cook, Lonesome Dove

    And, while not strictly related, it does involve something sharp, Haiku, and, being the best piece of poetry I have ever written, I try to work it into conversation:

    The guillotine slide
    The birds dim their cheerful chirp
    Someone gets a mop
    -Michael
