Muscles to smile

There is a saying that it takes some number of muscles to frown but much less to smile. The phrase really bugs me. One reason that it bugs is that people don't actually frown when they're mad. A frown is where the left and right ends of your mouth are lowered, people don't do that, in fact that looks dopy.

My other problem with that phrase is that it's maybe the only time when we encourage people do what is easy and takes energy. Is that a good message to teach America's youth, I don't think so. This one of those expressions that leaves a lot room to be made fun of. Here are some examples.

  • It takes 40 muscles to frown but only 7 to give somebody the finger.
  • It takes 37 muscles to frown but only 22 to smile so frowning is better exercise
It probably takes alot of muscles to give somebody a hug so there's some room there for humor.

Now that I'm on the subject of biological expressions I'm say that the expression "The early bird gets the worm" really bugs people, the way I know this bugs people is that there are so many comebacks, for example.

  • What about the early worm
  • The worm slept in
  • The second mouse gets the cheese
