The ultimate harmonic number

So, what is, in your opinion, the ultimate number?

Bonus points for identifying the significance of these numbers!

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

The answer is 'other'.

According to Harmonica Theory, the numbers are1 through 10 inclusive:

Even I know that. And I don't even play the harmonica; I'm an artist!

Anyway, they ALL blow. But they also (and I think this is why they're real important in the Harmonics world) all draw! Being an artist, maybe that's howcome I happen to know the right answer, I dunno.



And yes, I know, 'it's only a theory'.

Unless she's a working girl and you don't want to pay her. Then it can get very, very whore moanius (so I'm told).

I had an old girlfriend (actually she was only 18) once who could do that while playing the harmonica! It was symphonic!
