If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer

Summary

This quote is a sarcastic play on words that humorously suggests using a silencer when shooting at mimes. It highlights the silent and non-verbal nature of mimes, as they perform without speaking. The use of a silencer, which reduces the noise of a firearm, emphasizes the irony and absurdity of attempting to make their silent performance even quieter. It sparks a comedic reflection on the context of the situation rather than endorsing any actual violence towards mimes.
