Is John Travolta a Twit?

You see, I'd long wondered what possible purpose was served by the massive dimple in his chin. But then I heard that he'd been spotted kissing another man ON THE LIPS as he boarded his private plane. Clearly, according to opinion in the quality press, this makes him gay.
Anyway, this (now somewhat old) news got me thinking about his oversized chin-dimple. Which, ultimately, led me to think about Mr Twit, in Roald Dahl's The Twits. Now, the one thing that always stuck in my mind about Mr Twit, other than his total lack of observational skills and getting glued to the ceiling of his house, was that he had a big bushy beard. And that big bushy beard had a habit of catching food in it - like cornflakes, I think - which he would then be able to eat later in the day when hunger pangs struck.

Sounded like a pretty clever idea to me, aged six, but, lacking a beard, the closest I could manage was to stick pieces of bread to my face with honey.

So, piecing together the evidence in front of me the other day - JT's alleged rampant homosexuality, Mr Twit's beard and Johnny-boy's dimple - it dawned on me. After he has finished enjoying his friend's company, the dimple acts as a little receptacle for when he gets peckish (or wants to be reminded of the in-flight entertainment) later.
