Counting

Counting is sometimes used to achieve an election result, but more often is seen in the private sector as a mechanism of identifying the millionth product sold by a given manufacturer.
Ted: How did they figure out who bought the billionth McDonald's cheeseburger?

Ralph: They were counting.

H

Ted: Did you see the size of that ass?

Ralph: Jesus H Fucking Christ!
