january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 01:31 am I think I counted twenty-two (that I could notice), but by the end it was getting too punny (and I was stuck for a while figuring out if "Johnson" was a monetary reference). Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 3:38 pm I counted 35 on my fingers. I could be wrong on a few, but they seemed forced so they had to be puns in my mind. I might give it another go later, maybe circling and counting them, to see if I get the same count.
