A silly question. Would you count the grains of salt in a salt shaker?

So I’m in the kitchen filling the salt shaker and my husband comes in and says, “If I gave you a dollar to count each grain of salt in the shaker, would you?” He goes on to say he would give me a week to count it. Of course I asked him where would he come into the possession of 1 million dollars, because that’s how many grains of salt I estimate to be in our salt shaker.
My question to you is would you attempt to count the grains of salt in a salt shaker for $1 a grain? You would have a week to count and the actual number of grains is already verified and locked in a safe.
And one last rule, You can have no help with your counting from anyone. Do you think you could do it? Moreover, would you do it?
