Coffee Mugs

The mouth can be deceiving and dishonest. The eyes, being the windows to the soul, have a hard time being dishonest ~but with practice they learn to divert suspicion.
The NOSE, however, has few muscular options, so is relegated to nakedness and honesty... an observer need only to pay close attention and not be distracted by the glamour of the eyes and mouth; the truth will out with the nose.
The nose not liking all this attention has developed a partial sneer to communicate its dissatisfaction, but to no avail.
