Herbert: You’re in good shape.

Warren: Well, I try. Out here every day.

Herbert: What exercises do you do?

.

Warren: My routine is 100 situps, 100 pressups and jogging for 30 minutes.

.

Herbert: You ever lose count?

Losing it?

Warren: Here’s the thing. I do count, but sometimes find myself skipping ten or twenty.

Herbert: Hmm. Do you think that's losing the ability to count or is it just loss of attention?
