I'll never be as good as my late father was, but I can do quite
a few calculations in my head.

I worked with a fella one time who used an adding machine and then in his head a long list of figures.
I asked him one time why he did it both ways and he replied he counted
all the numbers to make sure the adding machine was right. :)

If you get fat finger syndrome, you're going to enter the wrong digits
sooner or later, then you, the adding machine, or both, are wrong.

But, without fat fingers, how do you pick up the food and the
silverware??
