Toby smiled. The download was a success. He didn't need to count anymore; he just needed to feel the "vibe" of the quantity. As he walked home, he passed a sign that used to say "Speed Limit 35." Now it just said: "Zippity-doo-dah." He started to run.

He tapped his glass-lens spectacles. A progress bar appeared in his vision: Downloading Humorous Logic... 100%.

Toby was a "Three." It wasn't that he was bad at math; he just couldn't physically perceive anything beyond the number three. When he looked at a dozen donuts, he saw three very large, complicated donuts. When he looked at his five-fingered hand, two of them were just... static.

He looked at his own hand again. He didn't see three fingers and static. He saw: "Five little meat-sticks ready for a piano."

"My assets!" the man wailed. "They've been turned into adjectives!"

Toby realized that "Funny Counting" had replaced the cold, hard precision of the world with the subjective absurdity of life. There were no more "billions" of stars, just "a sparkly mess." There weren't "eight billion" people, just "way too many for this elevator."
