    Came here to say this. It's a perfect strategy until they start putting cages on them like at my last job.

    I can't see a water fountain without a mental 1 steamboat, 2 steamboats, 3 steamboats...
    Though I always appreciated the ones who counted hippopotamuses instead.

    I used to do "one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc"

    But then found it was better to so l switch it to "one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc" because then the count matches the time closer. In the first, when you say the count, you are actually one second earlier. Eg, "two" marks the end of the first second and the start of the second one. But saying the number after (one-thousand, steamboat, mississippi, or whatever) means you can just say the number you last said for an accurate second count.

    This is surely going to always end well, especially with glasses 🤓.

    The second saves water at the expense of your dignity.
