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!
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!

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!!

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