I had to laugh when the inexperienced first man was asked by the emcee to
count the set, and so he did, to himself! None of us standing there had a
clue what number we were...

As to first man only, or first couple, doing the counting, I much prefer
the look and feel of the latter.

And, although I do like the tradition of counting a line, "Hands X" from
the top does work very well.
