Hey, Joe! Your smile is so dazzling that the right wing is picking on you for it.

But we think it’s great. There are many, many ways to react outwardly to intentional lying. You could have rolled your eyes, looked to the sky or frowned with anger. But you smiled, which looks a whole lot better, and unless the person you’re smiling at is feeling terribly guilty, it shouldn’t be read as an insult. So, then, smile away — we love it!
