Who Affects People’s Lives More, Clowns or Mimes?

Today’s question addresses whether it is clowns or mimes who are the more important part of our society. From an entertainment point of view, clowns are clearly the victor. Honestly, who would admit that they enjoy watching mimes over clowns? Unfortunately this question is not all about fun and games. We can’t make this decision based solely on what’s fun. Instead we have to look at what’s better for our lives. What can these two groups of entertainers teach us? Clowns can teach us how to cram a lot of people into a car. However, we don’t need clowns for that. Any twelve Mexicans with a pickup truck can teach us that trick. But mimes, on the other hand, teach us survival skills. What if you ended up trapped in an invisible, soundproof box? After watching a mime, you would know the best course of action would be to start feeling around for an invisible door handle. After hearing this many people would think the survival skills taught by mimes make them the more valuable performers. Personally I’m not convinced. If I may go back to my first point, clowns are the better entertainers, and as we all know, laughter is the best gift of all.

Now you have to ask yourself, what’s more important, survival or laughter? If it was me, I’d rather have the time of my life stuck in a box than a lifetime of silence.

I say enjoy life, stick with the clowns.

What's Another Word for Synonym?

Well as most people know, this question doesn't have a real answer. Truth is, if you look up “synonym” in a dictionary, it will say something along the lines of “A word having the same meaning as another word in the language”. However, if you look up synonym in a thesaurus, you will find that the actual word synonym has no synonyms for it. It’s a little ironic I know, but I’m just answering a question, not defending the legitimacy of the entire English language... If you do want to debate the legitimacy of our language, try Webster, I hear he knows a lot about words.
