How many?  I think a better question would be how often 8-)

I think it's just that you have to go through all details of the program to
explain
it to someone, then you go to explain one part and realize it ain't in the
program.
Since there's no other programmers here, I sometimes go to a data entry type
person in my office and start explaining the problem to him.  Then find the
solution.  It just doesn't seem to work if there is no one there to explain
the
problem to though.  hehe
