On Mimes

Positive things about mimes. Hmm. did you know that mimes donate more blood, per capita, than any other profession? Or that they were instrumental in passing along secret messages for the French Resistance? Or that every mime, no matter how successful, is professionally obligated to perfom in public parks at least a dozen times a year? Or that getting beaten up is considered the highest honor a mime can recieve, because they feel that that drains just a little more aggression out of the world as a whole? The statuettes they give out at the mime oscars - the marcels - are actually little statues of a beaten and bloody mimes, as a reminder of the nobility of the sacrifice...
