Non-verbal Detective Gifts

Krugshank wasn't sure how to read the boss' body language. Did he mean 'Krugshank, I've got a sore throat' or was it more, like, 'Krugshank, you're fired'?

Even more of what people say (and what they really mean)

"May I get an equation in edgewise."

"I'm fascinated by body language."

A mime and his pet parrot talk to one another.

"And here is the very stone that finally enabled us to figure out what all those dogs and cats were saying."

'I think I've found what's been causing my funny buzzing sounds.'

'As far as we can tell, the system went down because someone stepped on a crack in the sidewalk.'

'When you approach a customer, don't have your hands in your pockets.'

'I finnaly located what was causing that hissing sound on the tractor.'

"I'm an atheist. I don't believe in programmers."

Messrs Wink, Nod and Nudge write book on unspoken communication.

"I know you're angry when you cross your arms."

"I keep hearing this annoying buzzing noise!"

Motor Co - It's from Head Office, we've all got to be Crypton tuned.

'You know, sometimes I think we don't even speak the same body language.'

'No, it's not the Rapture - The kids next door got a trampoline.'

Body Language - Hiss!

"His tail has stopped wagging."

'Go ahead and dig, you said! what are the odds there's a pipe right there, you said!'

'I'm afraid he has sweeny flu.'

The Theatre of Mime.

"He said absolutely, positively, read my lips - NO! Unless I'm reading him wrong, I'd say he's definitely warming up to the idea."

"As a successful negotiator I am well aware of the subtleties of non-verbal communication. This is my discreet way of telling the boss that I want a raise!"

"Today's alpha-lesson is 'become a vapor.' Wherever you are, be it a broom closet or a baseball stadium, carry yourself as if your body fills the entire room. Greet people with your arms out wide. Have a wide stance. A booming laugh. A wide open smile. Becoming a vapor is the best and most legal way to mark your territory."

"Hopefully my body language tells you all you need to know."

"If your facial expression would normally convey sarcasm, blink twice."

"I'm looking for justice."

"Check it out. I'm exploring the fine line between a look of intense concentration and my usual resting dumb face."
