If you encounter a difficult question posed by someone, a question for which you don't have a convincing answer, what will you do?
a) You will give an honest answer and face the consequences
b) You will find a way to be evasive and prevaricate
c) You will say "I refuse to answer the question since it will incriminate me" as a witness will sometimes say in a court in Perry Mason stories.
d) You will go away abruptly without answering the question
Well, if you feel that you can't choose any of the above four options, you have a fifth option. This innovative and revolutionary approach for circumventing a difficult or embarrassing question was demonstrated by a celebrity very recently.
You just pat on the cheek of the questioner!
Never mind if the questioner is of a gender different from yours. If anything, this technique will work better if a man does it to a woman. (I am not sure whether it will work so well if the woman does it to a man!) In any case, you can claim that your 'hand on cheek' action was your way of wriggling out of the need to answer her question!
When I say this is a technique and it is powerful, I am not speculating or being hypothetical.The person who used it recently has been so graceful as to reveal this for the benefit of mankind (even if it means not being kind to women!). If he had not done so, people would have been speculating about his motives for patting on the cheek of a woman. Some might have even been so unkind as to remark what a cheek he had to touch the cheek of a woman without any consideration for her feelings.
As far as I know, the gentleman has not yet patented this technique.
However, I find two practical problems in people using this technique.
1) Since the person whose cheek is touched may be washing it several times, there may be huge consumption of water.
2) Another gentleman known for his wisecracks has advised that the hand that touches the cheek of another person has to be washed with phenyle. This may result in consumption of even more water.
Considering the severe water scarcity experienced by people everywhere, we need to have a closer look at the viability of this technique.
So, in the ultimate analysis, the technique of patting on the cheek does not appear to be viable, notwithstanding the ingenious idea behind it! Perhaps, one should settle for another technique demonstrated by another gentleman sometime back!
