How Can I Embarrass Myself, Let Me Count The Ways

It is said that the lowest form of humor is the pun.  However, I cannot help myself, I love word play.  There is one caveat though, you should think before you speak (that was directed at myself).

Today I was speaking with a customer (who fortunately knows me and knows my sense of humor), we were discussing a bill that he had and how to convert his consumption from hundred cubic feet to gallons.  He started to try and make the conversion verbally with great difficulty, (it was a very large consumption with a tiered rate).  I said "hold on, let me get the calculator or Ill have to take off more than my shoes to figure this out!"   As I thought about what I had said, the customer only replied "Oh?"  My face flushed I said, "I only have 10 fingers and 10 toes, anything over 20 gets figured out on the calculator is what I meant."
