Why do people (women mainly) when they laugh put their hand in front of their mouth/face?
They do it all the time, watching tv even so many people do it.
Its not because they have bad teeth or an ugly smile.
I've even seen my 6 year old G/daughter do it, why? I asked her & she said its because her friends do it.
I can perhaps understand it with kids but adults ??? Beats me.

tamborine - I suppose its a blast from the past really. I worked in sales for a while and was told "First of all you have to attract 'em, when thats done 'reel 'em in'
It seems to have worked.
Its the same as mis-spelling something, you're attracted to it where-as you may never have noticed it.normally. (called tricks of the trade)
