Tom, Tom, Tom, no situation is impossible to look bored on. Like writing a good Substack, it just takes work.

Here is my trick to guarantee to look bored. Close your eyes and pretend a python is swallowing your left leg starting with your toes. Do you know how slowly pythons swallow their prey? It's very slowly! I guarantee that by the time it reaches your ankle, you will look VERY bored.

I discovered this for myself last year in Indonesia when a python was trying to eat me. Sure, I screamed a LOT when I first woke up to find said python munching on my foot. But it took HOURS for the rescue team to get to me and by the time I did -- and the python was up to my knee -- I was bored out of my skull.

You're welcome!
