I have 3 japanese abacus, (that one is chinese) they actually are very fast, but you have to know you times tables (1-10) to multiply/divide. My boy is fast on it, japanese students can see the abacus in their mind.
Best one for me is still the girl at HD that needed a calculator to figure out the linear feet for 14, ten foot pieces of baseboard.

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