Old Lancastrians used to say ought for zero, from nought I suppose, so 1804 would be One Ate Ought Four, ought being a corruption of all't. Simples!

Svejk, the sheep joke is one of those which is really an oral and not a written one. When you say it, you are actually saying "twenty sick sheep"; however, most people interpret it as "twenty-six sheep", so if two die there are eighteen left.
