Actually, this color-by-numbers racket fits hand-in-glove (how many
points for gloves?) with your girls-don't-count theory.  Remember,
you have to count up to 14, but woe unto her who counts to 15, the
infamous evil number of the party-animal.  The mirror is for good luck,
until it breaks.  And you're certainly better off counting before it
than after--you might be waiting a long time.  (Come on, speak up!)

"Fourteen will be thy count, and the number of thy counting will be
fourteen."  Well, so much for reading hex dumps. :-)

"Doesn't Louise count?"
"Only to ten, Mudhead."
