“Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next. Between two and three there is a jump. In the case of quantity there is no such jump, and because jump is missing in the world of quantity it is impossible for any quantity to be exact. You can have exactly three tomatoes. You can never have exactly three gallons of water. Always quantity is approximate.”

“I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.”

This is what I heard of course the story could be wrong.She's the one — I've been told
Now she's wearing a band of gold.
Peggy Sue got married not long ago.”
