Horatio Bottomley (British politician and co-founder of the Financial Times) was in prison for fraud in the 1920s. On one occasion, so the story goes, he was visited by a chaplain who saw him sewing mailbags and said: “Ah, Bottomley. Sewing, I see.”
To which Bottomley replied, “No, sir. Reaping.”
It takes fewer muscles to frown than to smile and even fewer to simply look blank.
