Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 28, 2023

Tsk, tsk, no mimeranda warnings.

Does he have the right to refrain from making gestures?

Use because he is a mime, just use Miranda anyway and CYA

Good luck getting him to talk.

Not as long as he’s trapped in that invisible glass box!!!!

I saw him pulling on a rope, then he went down some steps.

Well, we can all see the tears. So what did you do to make him cry?

The cop didn’t shoot him because a mime is a terrible thing to waste.

“He never told me he was a mime.”

I wanted to become a mime. I phoned them and left a message, but I never heard back.

Mistrial!

So … did he say something?

Enjoy

Maybe they should teach mime at the academy so he can give him his rights.

TO THE SCORPION PIT WITH HIM!!

If guilty, maybe they can put him in a cell with glass walls and he’ll feel right at home.

“It was said that [Vetinari] would tolerate absolutely anything apart from anything that threatened the city… And mime artists. It was a strange aversion, but there you are. Anyone in baggy trousers and a white face who tried to ply their art anywhere within Ankh’s crumbling walls would very quickly find themselves in a a scorpion pit, on one wall of which was painted the advice: Learn The Words.”

― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

Silence is golden

Mimes act out and maybe that was the same as speaking…

When he was found guilty, all he did was make a frown.

If a mime shoots someone, does s/he use a silencer?

If you Miranda a mime how can you be sure he answered you?

Marcel Marceau was a hero of the French underground, helping many Jews escape the Nazis. On the other side of the scales, he spawned generations of mimes. St. Peter, you care to weigh in on that one?

Marx Brothers movie LOVE HAPPY—1950

You put on the striped shirt, you waive a lot of rights to speak up.

Treading into a mime field.

Did he mention that he has the right to speak to an attorney?

Will he be stuck in a box for 2 to 5?

Genius.

Note the loophole here. If a cop says “we just want to talk, to find out what happened”, and you blab anything at all incriminating, you are not protected by the Miranda ruling, which applies only to people already “in custody”. And “custody means formal arrest or the deprivation of freedom to an extent associated with formal arrest.”

Your court or mime?

Looks like Quasimodo is the prosecuting attorney.

Does a cat really have mime lives??? (Dang autocorrect)

OT: Hey, does anyone know why thefarside.com has been out of commission the last couple of days?

You have the right not to put yourself in the invisible “witness box”…

Last night on the episode of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” I watched after recording earlier, Teller talked. At least I think he did. He sounded like a ventriloquist dummy and didn’t move his lips.

Note the DA’s head in his hands. That copper just killed his own career.
