Counting

"One two three four five….."

"Whatcha doing Gage?"

"Shut up Chet, I'm counting.  Six seven eight nine ten…."

"What are you counting?"

Johnny put his finger in the paperwork and looked up sternly at his coworker.  "I'm counting this for the Cap.  Now leave me alone!"  He turned his attention back to his office work.  "Eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen…."

"But why are you doing it?"  Kelly pressed on.

Johnny threw his arms down on the table and glared at Kelly.  Gritting his teeth he replied, "because Cap needed help with these reports and wanted them alphabetized.  That's why!"

Kelly wouldn't let go.  Once his teeth were in his pigeon, he had no mercy.  "But if you are alphabetizing them, why are you counting them?"

Gage had enough.  He pushed back from the table and stood up next to Chet.  Through all of the pranks Chet played on him during the years, Johnny had one advantage, his height.  Glowering over his associate he said,
"I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.  I HAVE MY METHODS!"  Johnny sat back down.

"Yeah, right, sure."  Kelly left the kitchen.

"Now where was I before I was rudely interrupted?  Dammit! One two three four five six….."
