It’s a cyclic formula:

“I’ve you you N x ”
equals “I’ve told you N + 1 x”

So I’ve told you 1 time
= I’ve told you 2 times
(here we apply the formula again)
= I’ve told you 3 times
(and so on, until…)
= I’ve told you 1,000 times

So If N = N + 1
then N = N + 999

Therefore the formula does work to Sam K !

But maybe, "if I told you N times I've told you Nx10^3 times?" I like it. But maybe, “if I told you N times I’ve told you Nx10^3 times?”

The saying I've always heard was, "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times". So the N/N+1 thing doesn't really fit. But maybe the saying is different for other people? I've never heard anyone say "If I've told you once, I've told you twice", or "If I've told you 5 times, I've told you 6 times"... Eh...it's probably just me. :) That shirt doesn’t really work for me.
