Anyway, as I wait for some paint to dry (this has literally been what I've been doing, working from home, for most of the past 38 years) I was reflecting on our Prime Minister whatsisface, and a curious facile tic he has. It's when his eyes dart sideways & a tiny smirk puckers..
...a corner of his mouth. You'll recognise it when you see it, and I suddenly remembered the other day where I'd seen it before, during a parent/teacher evening with @fredrowson's French teacher, an odd man who'd told his class that he had a pet chimpanzee. Given my long...
...association with the higher reaches of @OfficialZSL, I can speak Zoo, so when it came my turn to talk to him about our son's progress in the French language, I thought I'd pull his plonker to see how he reacted, and raised the issue of his pet chimp. "You must," I said...
..."have had a few problems with your zoo licencing if you've got the animal living uncaged with you at home. They are, after all, extremely dangerous and savage creatures." At which point, he did exactly what our KGB sleeper agent part-time Prime Minister "Boris" Johnson does...
...unconsciously all the time, which was to dart his eyes sideways as a tiny smirk puckered the corner of his mouth, the outward & physical manifestation of the folowing rapid internal calculation: "Shit! Rumbled! Shall I fess up? Nah, bollocks! It's much more fun to lie! So...
...I'm gonna lie now. Yippee! Whooooo! I'M LYING YOU MOTHERFUCKERS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Now you recognise the facial tick, just apply it to anyone who does that & you'll see my analysis is watertight. So keep watching the smirks. Catch 'em every time, whether it's pet chimps or...
...painting wine boxes as buses or promising that a billion people will get tested for corona by yesterday. Doesn't float my boat, but for some poor schmucks blatant obvious lying must belike having a crack orgasm every second of the day forever. Blimey.
