I was in a well known fast food restaurant enjoying a light snack when I noticed a woman slumped down on a table in front of me. She was breathing but she had the appearances of someone who just had a a slightly bigger fix than usual. I asked the staff if they had noticed her and explained my suspicions. Staff seemed to think that she was probably tired. ‘watch this’ I said. I then took a firm grip on the woman’s earlobe and gave a hard pinch. No reaction at all. ‘I’ll do it harder’ I said and I did but there was still no reaction. Third time lucky I pinched again, but this time I dug my thumbnail as well. The woman shrieked, jumped up and punched out towards me but missed and delivered a perfect upper cut to a carton of thickshake on the table in front of her. The carton flew up then fell down and exploded on the floor. The woman walked out and met her partner. They stood arguing for a while, then they staggered off arm in arm, while the staff mopped the floor

We took in a real good faker, who if we didn’t know about him, we would have been convinced he was unconscious, he will take an OP / nasal airway with flinching. However at the hospital the consultant had his number and sheer shock factor ‘brought him round’. He tipped a pile of ice down his boxers!! We did chuckle!

I usually find a way to prove they are faking it. The subtle use of pressure points.
What a cheek!!

I prefer the ‘smack in the gob’ reflex when you hold their arm straight up and see if they’ll let it drop on their face when you let it go.

Ah, the Linford Christie reflex. They certainly dont teach you that that can happen in college. If they ever plan to use humans for greyhounds to chase round the track then this character has a potential career.

Enjoy your days off.
