Mimes

I am struggling to figure out how mimes came about and how they are still a thing. It doesn't come as any surprise that they still haunt the streets of Paris - the French have proved over and over again that their sense of entertainment is quite bizarre  - hell, they liked Jerry Lewis for goodness sakes.

According to Wikipedia, mimes have enjoyed an even longer history than those awful Punch & Judy shows I mentioned a couple weeks ago, and despite being silent, are every bit as annoying.

But this fellow has tweeted the perfect mime act: fantastically entertaining and we get to do away with a mime. Sort of a win-win in this curmudgeon's view.
