I don't get mimes.
Was there some time in humanity's history where mimes were appreciated as genuinely entertaining? I mean, before mimes sort of became a universally unfunny joke?
Did people used to look at a mime pretending he was trapped in a box and think: "I am enjoying this most excellent display of miming prowess. I shall now laugh in hearty appreciation."?
Do mimes think mimes are funny and/or entertaining?

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
