To stop me from bringing stones home from the beach, my dad told me the man that counts the stones at the end of the day would be sacked if i kept bringing the stones home. I was happy enough with that explaination untill I was about 12. Then I asked him, how does he count the stones at the very bottom. He still reminds me of this whenever we're at the beach!
