Is there an annoying mime working a street near you? Just use the
Mime Sweeper to rid the neighborhood of this annoying pest.
Here’s how it works. You slip up behind the mime and when no one
is
paying attention to him, most anytime usually, you slip the Mime
Sweeper over his body. The Mime
Sweeper II is a 6 x 6 x 6 clear
plastic
box that is completely undetectable, soundproof and airtight. Once
over his body the Mime is trapped and cannot get out. The mime
will
give the performance of this life until he runs out of air.

Okay, but mimes are at least quiet. Can you come up with a One-Man-Band Banisher? |

You're a sick, pinko, bleeding-heart liberal, [UB]........... |
|

[UB] Is this comment meant to be serious because if it is it
isn't. If it's meant tongue-in-cheek, then it really isn't funny.
It seems to fall into the vague no-mans land of why did you
bother. |
|

// kill all the lawyers, then the gnomes, then the mimes / |
|
| |
Tautology. Gnomes aren't alive per se, which slightly mars the vastt enjoyment to be gained from smashing in their pointly little skulls with a hammer. |
|
| |
Suggest you substitute "destroy" or "eliminate" for "kill". |
|
| |
Also, mimes are worse and more annoying than gnomes, so they should come second on your list. |
|

[UB] what we have here is not tongue-in-cheek, it’s black
humor and [UB] you are missing the subtle irony in it. The
mime is stuck in the box and is going through the same
motions that he has tried to perfect as part of his act. The
question is can he do it well enough for someone to
believe it and help him. Then there are the people
passing, do they ignore the mime because he is going
through the same motions he usually does or do they think
he is such a great mime that they leave a few coins and
move on. And the last gruesome alternative, do they
realize that he’s not miming and take videos with their
cameras and upload a clip called “Mime gets It” to uTube. |

Now if you called me out on stereotypism I would have to
agree with. |
|
| |
<Watches amazed the uncommon spectacle of [UB] being lectured on "black humour"> |
|

Soundproof boxes are not the new custard, so it seems. Hey, UB, that's a timeless rant, no? Bravo. How would one translate it to other kneejerk reactions? Like, say, one's distaste for tilapia. I hate tilapia, but don't know how to voice this opinion.
Thanks for the help,

A potential tip, [Gem]. When you attempt to explain the workings of your subtle humor, it's not so subtle, or humorous, anymore. |

those annoying mimes are just trying to earn a living. |
|
| |
Well, they coud do it some more socially acceptable way, like prostitution, selling arms, drug dealing, or people trafficking. |
|
| |
If they are really desperate, they could always go into politics..... but obviously they'd need to change their names - the shame for their families would be too great. |
|
| |
Or they could go to law school, but that's just silly. ...... |
|
| |
Won't anybody think of the mimes ? |
|
| |
Well [UB] it appears we have come to an impasse so why
don't we just "Agree to Disagree" and direct our attention on
a group more worthy of our wrath then mimes like the
morons that come up with platitudes like “Agree to
Disagree.” |
|
| |
Yes, why not. But we miss the good old days of the Troll hunts. Don't see so may of 'em around these days, think they may have been over-hunted in these parts ..... |

The antidote to mimes is the ventriloquist. Give voice to a mime, and he's no longer a mime. |
|
| |
"The antidote to mimes is the ventriloquist" - ldischler |
|
| |
So what we have here is a ventriloquist with a mime sitting
on his knee and the audience has to figure out which one is
the dummy. |
