Marcel Marceau was a hero of the French underground, helping many Jews escape the Nazis. On the other side of the scales, he spawned generations of mimes. St. Peter, you care to weigh in on that one?

Note the loophole here. If a cop says “we just want to talk, to find out what happened”, and you blab anything at all incriminating, you are not protected by the Miranda ruling, which applies only to people already “in custody”. And “custody means formal arrest or the deprivation of freedom to an extent associated with formal arrest.”
Last night on the episode of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” I watched after recording earlier, Teller talked. At least I think he did. He sounded like a ventriloquist dummy and didn’t move his lips.

The cop didn’t shoot him because a mime is a terrible thing to waste.

Maybe they should teach mime at the academy so he can give him his rights.

If guilty, maybe they can put him in a cell with glass walls and he’ll feel right at home.

If a mime shoots someone, does s/he use a silencer?
