A mime and a lawyer are sitting in a coffee shop. The mime starts miming that he's thirsty, pointing to his empty cup and making drinking motions.
The lawyer pulls out a notepad and starts writing. The mime gestures angrily, then mimes asking for a pen, writing on the notepad himself, and handing it to the lawyer.
The lawyer reads the note: "I would like some coffee, please."
The lawyer sighs and says, "You know, you could have just asked."
The mime shrugs and mimes writing on the notepad again: "I prefer to handle all communication through my legal representative."
I hope you enjoyed this! Let me know if you'd like to hear another one.
