Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for February 03, 2016

SAVE ME!!! A little mime is a terrible thing to waste!

I saw his hands move!

You have the right to remain silent…..

Silence of the mime.

It just occurred to me: If mimes are so aggravating without saying a word, just imagine what they would be like if they spoke.Oh the horrors, the pain!

That would be a great act.

“Ask me about my vow of silence.”…

Reminds me of a couple of episode of Twilight Zone.

There was a Diagnosis Murder in which a mime was the victim. Hmm…

Perfect

but i may have to use asl (american sign language)

I heard that!

Sometimes I just don’t ‘get’ it. Today, here, is one of those days. Sometimes, I’m just glad I don’t ask. Today should have been one of them!!

Skylark….. ventriloquists say they “throw” their voices into their dummies…who then speak, while they don’t.

However, they are actually speaking without moving their mouths, so it looks as though it’s the dummy talking.

Mimes don’t speak…. they talk with body movements.Presumably, this ventriloquist mime is “throwing” his body movements into his dummy, who moves for him.

(That’s why I said I saw his hands move.)

And thanks, Pacopuddy…. especially for getting it!

At least Dave didn’t fall back on the old “glass box” routine by mini-me there.
