Quote from Rose in The Auction
Blanche: Girls, look, a mime. Rose: Oh, I just love a mime. It's all on account of my Uncle Gustav. He was a coal mimer. Blanche: You mean a coal miner. Rose: No, a coal mimer. You see, he had a bad back and he didn't want to lose his medical benefits, so every morning he'd go down the shaft and pretend to work.
