I've spent the last few days as liaison for a visiting pro football (soccer) team. The big game was tonight, towards the end of which we were sitting around trying to draft a media release.
Team Media Lady: What do you think the crowd was tonight?
Me: Half-pissed. It's a payweek Thursday.
TML: No, I mean how many?
Me: 2,400.
TML: My guess is 2,600.
Me: As you can see, no turnstiles. We can split the difference at 2,500.
Other guy: You can't put 2,500. It's too round. It'll sound like you made it up.
TML: *thinks a bit* So, roughly, 2,547.
Other guy: *nods* Yeah, I reckon.

I heard that this same technique set the official height of Mount Everest—that the actual number sounded too round, so they added a 3, or something.

Funny, that's how I calculate my age...my weight...my height, etc. I just pick a number that sounds better.
