Sign of the Mimes

“The saddest story I ever heard was about two mimes who got married,” my friend said. “They went their whole lives without saying a word. How depressing, right?”

I thought it over. “But they stayed true to the code, man,” I answered. “It’s a fine love story.”

“Are you nuts?”

“Look, my girlfriend talks too much. It’s mind-numbing. She’s best when her mouth’s closed.”

“Then you ain’t with the right girl, bro. Get with a mime, why don’t ya?”

That’s when I decided to see a mime.

Spoiler alert: she talked. A lot.

So we divorced.

Talk about a sad story.
