As most of you know we have lost Marcel Marceau to the realm of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". Whether you like Mime or not, you have to respect anyone who can take their craft out of the drama classes and into the bank.
Anytime someone becomes the ONLY name most people can even think of in a profession, that's an accomplishment!
So here are my kind words by way of eulogy to the Master Mime...
The mime was silenced.
The eulogy left the preacher speechless.
The mime lay unmoving, not a word fell from his body.
The lid was closed on the invisible casket.
At the viewing, someone looked at his greasepaintless face and remarked, "He never looked more natural".
Mimes around the world will mourn his death, the press could get no comment from them.

This is the first time I ever hear of Marcel Marceau, of course Mimes are not my thing. I must say if this is a joke it is a good one and well thought of. Of course the press could not get a word from with him, they are mimes. Good one ParaTed this one makes you think.
