A thought-provoking Question

[Ostronomos]

What is the significance of seeing the smiling face of an individual who, lacking the intelligence to discern social cues thereby consistently showing childlike naivete, appears on the other side of a window of a door standing 8 ft apart?

A rictus is a frozen, fake smile. If the star of a play finds herself overcome by stage fright, she might forget her lines and stand, trembling, her mouth twisted into a rictus. The word rictus most often describes a smile that doesn't convey delight or happiness — instead, it's a kind of horrified, involuntary grin.

Rictus. Calls to mind that very forgettable, electric twanging ditty from 1967...

"Who's she gonna signal now the Joker's loose? 
Where do you find a Wayne if there ain't no Bruce? 
How could she strike out without the swinging bat?
Turns out the Gaping Grin was a lady cat."
