I think Spike was actually being advanced, writing in a future dialect 
of English. Languages logically streamline themselves over time. We 
don't use "of" with "few", for ex. (in the sense of: "a few of days"), 
so to make the usage of "couple" line up with the usage of "few", we're 
moving towards "a couple days". Spike is just getting there ahead of 
most of us.
