Ask A Talentless Mime

talentless-mime.jpg


Were you pretending to poke someone in the stomach?

No. I was hoping to convey that I was in an elevator and pressing the button repeatedly, as if the elevator was not moving.


Why did you feign shaving your fist?

That was peeling a banana.


Your "walking against the wind" routine at the end was brilliant, how long did you practice that?

That was actually my exit. I lost several tendons when I tripped on a sickle.


Were you classically trained?

In Market Research, yes.

I laughed so hard at this piece that I think I hurt myself. I think I know who this character study was based on--I work with him. ;o)

Brilliant.

If a tree fell on a mime in the forrest, would anyone care...?

Oddly popular amongst insurance professionals.
