The Drive By Smile

The Drive By Smile is Like a drive by shooting, but more pleasant. I tested that in these terrible driving conditions, and found people will smile in return. They can't help it. Smiling is a reflex reaction. It's simple really.

If you have time, try this wherever you are at the moment. Think of something pleasant or funny. Something that brings a smile to your face. Got your picture? Are you smiling? Good. Now swivel your head around towards the other people in the room/train/library - wherever. Coming into someone smiling works easier for most people than seeing someone, getting their attention and then smiling. I think I will try other variations. I'm experimenting with the 'Drive By Suspicious Glare' and the 'Drive By Look of Confusion'.
