I think it also may depend on your past work history.  In my case, as versatile as my work history has been, I would only include those jobs that are actually applicable to the work I'm trying to get.  Now, if all my work history applied to the position I'm applying for, then I would give the last xx jobs, keeping the resume down to the 1-2 page limit.  And oftentimes I only give months and years for the positions, so a couple of days or 2-3 weeks missing would not be as obvious.  Now, if I was asked specifically about that time, I'd own up and state that there was cultural issues (or whatever) that made me move on.  Also, during the interview I would be more than open about the work experience that I may have left off due to not applying to the position I applied for, or for any work experience that may have applied that didn't fit due to length constraints.
