Let Me Count the Ways

Here is an example of my sick sense of humor and how it is rubbing off on my children. The other day at dinner Son Number Two is talking about something and uses the old saying that we've all heard before: There's more than one way to skin a cat. Son Number One says, "Yeah, like an industrial shredder." I of course corrected him because skinning a cat suggests that the rest of the body is left intact. Then we started coming up with methods and tools one could use to implement a cat skinning policy. That got me to thinking. Just how many ways are there to skin a cat?
