>Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen
>nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets", said
>the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I
>replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was
>the reply. "So I can't order a half-dozen nuggets,
>but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook
>my head and ordered six McNuggets.
