If a mime dies in the woods, does it make a noise?

[IronWing]

Just wondering?

 

[JJChicken]

No. Although it can be argued that when s/he falls to the ground there is a noise created, "it" does not create the noise nor has it any intention of creating the noise.

If a mime drops dead will anybody hear it?

Man, you have the timing down, brother!

Why is it when you ship something by car it's called shipment but when you ship something by boat it's called cargo?

Just wondering?

Why do people park on driveways and drive on parkways?


And what's the deal with airline food?

If you kick a mime in the balls, does he make a sound?

I think the question is, "if a tree falls in the forest and hits a mime, does anyone care?"

I would like to think Mrs. Mime would care.

dead mimes tell no tales

 

[Number1]

One day an out of work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer.

However, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, the zookeeper grabs him and drags him into his office.

The zookeeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly. The keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.

The next morning, before the crowd arrives, the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime.

However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he gets bored just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his.

Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it.

At the end of the day the zookeeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction as a gorilla.

Well, this goes on for some time. The mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion, he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind.

Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help, Help me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"
