Ah, man. All this is giving me a headache. :-(

nice rationalization. unfortunately, I was not giving a reason to fear mimes, I was giving a reason why people do fear mimes. FEAR IS NOT RATIONAL . Everything you just said makes sense, and I even agree with you on most of it, but when you fear something, that doesn’t mean it makes sense to fear it. You are afraid not of what the mime is feeling, but that they are expressing it to you at all.

I’m with Wyatt: ouch.

?? Agreed.
