Reminds me of the story told by Jeanne Robertson about the time she sent her husband (whom she calls "left brain") to the store with a numbered grocery list.dextercioby said:

1 dozen eggs
2 gallons of milk
3 boxes of cheerios
4 packages of bacon

I don't get how the numbers can be anything but multipliers here. @Swamp Thing's list illustrates this, as it makes no sense to writephinds said:

I think we are to understand that the actual list looked likeDrClaude said:
1 eggs
2 milk
3 cheerios
4 bacon
And the list in phinds' post is what the guy came home with. Presumably, he filled in the units for each quantity according to his best judgement.
And the premise of my own feeble joke is that if it was a list with circle bullets, he would have come home with zero of each item.

I wouldn't have thought it possible that any Ent, no matter how disturbingly disfigured, could fail to get a part in The Two Towers.BillTre said:
