You whippersnappers are too young to remember the good ole days when
we used to make tick marks under the drawing of each animal on the
cave wall so we could keep score. I was the one that invented the 
slash across four ticks. I got the idea from my thumb! I shoulda
patented it, but Oogbuk, the patent commissioner, was too busy
chewing on a mastodon bone to accept my application.
