When I asked a friend how his diet was going, he said he was "down to four".

Puzzled, I asked "Down to four WHAT?"

"Mississippis", he responded.

"What in the world are you talking about?" I demanded, still puzzled.

"Well, as soon as I've dried off when I get out of the shower, I step up onto the toilet seat and then hop off and land flat-footed in front of the mirror. Then, I count Mississippis---you know, 'one Mississippi, two Mississippis'---until everything stops jiggling. I started at six, but now I'm down to four!"
