I was going to be a professional mime in Paris, but a pigeon stole my invisible rope in 2018.

Did that pigeon at least leave you the invisible ball? I got into a weird fight with a seagull over a french fry once... it felt like a scene from a nature documentary, but with more screaming on my part.

Just drop the fry and back away slowly, it's not worth the battle.

Always carry a backup invisible rope, and @mark436, you need to be more aggressive than the bird.

Honestly, that pigeon did you a huge favor. My own invisible rope skills peaked at pretending to be stuck in a phone booth in high school drama class, and it was not a pretty sight. The seagull versus fry battle is way more relatable, at least you had a real prize to fight over. My career would have ended with me miming a sad cup of coffee for tourists who just felt awkward.
