How to be happy

I’ve recently discovered that there are some muscles just beneath the lips called “depressor” muscles.

This is fascinating – I sometimes feel a little depressed, for no obvious reason, and have figured that the cause of it must be these little muscles. I’m sure I’ll smile more without them, and I don’t think I use them much when I play, so I’ve booked an appointment to have them removed by a reputable Harley Street surgeon specialising in facial reconstruction. 

I’ll let you know how I get on.
