"I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?"

"You killed my father. Prepare to die."

And, for those who don't know:

Although I find out more comfortable to count across and then down; at least the first 4 numbers are the same as base-10 finger counting.

The best part is that with 2 hands you can count to 156 (12 * 12 on the dozens hand and 12 on the ones hand)

Edit: I missed your bit at the end about 2 hands and spent like 10 minutes counting on my hands like a dork double checking my work.

It should be a gross, or 144. How did you get 156? I'm curious! Maybe there's a counting method with which I'm unfamiliar.
