When I was about seven years old, the big argument on the
playground among the more mathematically minded kids was
what the largest number was that you could think of. After
"billion" was shot down ("billion and one") inevitably we came
to "uncountable", for which the trick does not work.

Somehow "inf for integers" reminds me very strongly of
"uncountable".
