We have all heard the old adage that frowning takes more muscles than smiling. Sometimes it's 2 times as many muscles, sometimes it's as many as 5 times, but either way, it's the annoying thing people say when you look less than happy and they are trying to get you to perk up and smile at them. This muscle logic is often used by well-meaning people who are saying, in effect, "Go take the easier road and smile...everyone will feel better, including you (despite the fact that you are not in a smiley mood)." Often people react to that admonition by slapping a smile, albeit fake, on their face to appease the other person. There, now, everyone feels better, right? ;)

~ A quote by William Claude Dukenfield , better known as W. C. Fields, who was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer. Fields' comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs and children. His birthday was on 29 January 1880.

He passed away on 25 December 1946 at the age of 66.
