A MR bean post.
The woman at the cheese counter offers you a free sample. You take one. You do a slow lap of the shop, come back with your collar turned up, and take another. She knows. You know she knows. You take a third. The exam begins. You develop a sudden stiff neck that only eases when you face Daniel's paper. Daniel, it turns out, has written "I don't know" in very neat handwriting. The meeting runs for an hour. You nod at everything. At the end someone asks "does that work for you?" and you say "absolutely, yes" with the confidence of a man who heard none of it. The train has one free seat and a man's bag on it. You stand beside the bag and stare at it until, with a long sigh, he moves it. You sit down like a king accepting a throne. **Why it caught on:** Rowan Atkinson's nearly silent Mr Bean, from the British series that ran from 1990 to 1995 and the films after it, has a face that does mischief, confusion and smugness in under a second, and everyone has a small sneaky victory they're secretly proud of.
