Mimes on steroids

I see Jim has put up the week's cartoon. Of course, the thought of mimes not succeeding in baseball makes me wonder how mimes on steroids would fare. I also wonder what mimes would do to soup up their performances.

Can't ya see the headlines now: Performance-enhanced mime walks on water. Jesus might get jealous, and then there'd be an investigation.

And then, other mimes whose names had surfaced after rumors of possible use of performance-enhancing steroids could hold a press conference to clear their names. Like Barry Bonds, earlier this week, they could deride the media for having the indecency of suggesting they're less than pure at their mimedom.

And then, in silence, the finger-pointing would begin---and it wouldn't be with the index finger. It might be a bit difficult for the print reporters to record, but on TV the scene would play well.

Then, the FCC could step in. After which would appear the damage-control explanation to save the mime's face: finger failure.

No, I've not used anything other than coffee to enhance my computer performance this morning. But the scenario was fun to imagine.

Seems the family genes produce quirky mimes.
