Can anyone tell me how many shots of espresso I can generally get out of one pound of ground coffee?

In the low twenties. See How many DOUBLE espressos do you get per pound of roasted beans? for a related poll.

That poll was before Jim's down dosing expose
I'm currently getting in the low hundreds!

Lets see, 18 grams per double? 28 grams in an oz, 16 oz in a pound, 450 grams per pound, divide, multiplied, the answer about 24, then you must knock off a bit for dosing, waste, or a bad shot or two. That puts you in the low 20's. Thanks Dan for the easy answer. Or about 120 beans or so.
