I wish that smile article had pictures of the various smiles.
I know. It might save me from sitting here practicing and looking like a nutcase.
Maybe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The cowboy one!
Oh, right. Yeah, I got nothing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, my email just crashed, and this time, it's not just me, it's the whole firm!
Who wants to help entertain me?

Okay, those decals I'd have remembered if I'd read them.
Shame on you, Jesse. Cowgirl on the outside, slicker on the inside.

So, do you think that the typical British smile vs. the American one is because they're not forced to smile ALL the time?

Perkins, I totally would, except I'm just sitting here watching the clock.

You know what's funny? I'm not a cowgirl on the outside, either!!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
So, do you think that the typical British smile vs. the American one is because they're not forced to smile ALL the time?
Nope, it's because we're a bunch of bleedin' miserable gits.
Actually, it's due to the beer. If you're drinking warmer beer from a large pint glass, you can't be smiling like a craxy, or you'll spill the precious elixir. A colder beer, possibly from a bottle, gives you a lot more leeway.
It's all explained in my unpublished monograph "Smiles of the drinking classes".
