...Before this Thread drops into obscurity (like the "Duck" Thread?) I may venture a few things.
- Upon sight of Myself, I can either cause happy faces to drop, or unhappy faces to light up into a broad GRIN... go figure.
- Also, I remember this upon the National News. It was from 6 Years ago. (My how time flies...):
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/aug/08/olympics-spectator-parkinsons-arrest-smiling
- Lastly, I have a real story about my own "smiling". Apparently, in my infancy, I did not 'Smile-To-Order' in social situations, apparently. One day, as We infants all exited the Class, the (wide) Teacher came to bar my way, to stop only Myself from exiting. With a wide smile, She loomed down at Me, and said in a Booming Cheery manner: "I'm not letting You set one foot out of this room until I see a SMILE!"
At that point, I felt like screaming... but I recalled the English Language, gave her a fake smile for about 0.7 Milliseconds, and then dropped it. Yet this seemed to satisfy the Teacher, and she then stepped aside to release Me. I last recall staggering out of that classroom, wondering what the Dickens might that have been all about... :-O
