I had a case of whisky in my cellar and the missus told me to empty the contents down the sink, or else...so I reluctantly proceeded with the unhappy task.

I drew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with exception of one glass, which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank.

I emptied the third bottle, except for a glass, which I drank and then took the cork from the fourth sink, poured the glass down the bottle and drank that too.

I pulled the bottle from the next glass, drank one sink out of it, and emptied the rest down the cork.

Then I pulled the sink from the next bottle and poured it down the glass and drank the cork, and finally I took the glass from the last bottle, emptied the cork, poured the sink down the rest and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles and glasses and corks with the other and found that there were 29: To make sure I recounted them when they came by again and this time there were 74.

As the house came around the next time I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses and sinks and glasses and corks and bottles counted, except one house, which I drank.
