This is also part of why the numbers vary (another part of it is that the people that come up with these sorts of sayings generally have almost no idea what they're talking about, and just pull numbers out of their ... er, the air).There's a somewhat more clever variant that ends "but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face."
