IIRC, Princess Diana was deeply involved in the campaign to outlaw land mimes. She was very series about it...a hugh problem.
Yes. Anti-ship mimes are strangely silent - too busy ... the metaphoric string has run out.
But look, aprons, chefs' hats, vinyl gloves, facial hair, kitchen clogs - all the affectations of the food-server class, the barista wannabes.
Hmmm, a menu-mime? A menu-meme? "How will madame have her trussed-chicken?"
