While I was trying to find out what user TGB's name stood for, I came across this song for children which is popular in the UK I'm told:
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall,
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall,
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,
There'll be nine green bottles sitting on the wall.
In the U.S. we have a similar rhyme:
Ninety-nine bottles of Coke on the wall,
Ninety-nine bottles of Coke,
Take one down, pass it around,
Ninety-eight bottles of Coke on the wall.
Did you Brits know that?
PS: @simian: I recommend singing this on your flight to Maui. Start at over 9,000.
