From Salon

Terry-Thomas is a minor British comedian with a mouth like a disappointed mail slot, gaunt but somehow flaccid cheeks, cavernous eye sockets containing soggy blue objects that look as if they had sat all night in a glass of water, self-energizing mustaches, and a gap between his two front teeth that has earned him a reputation in English restaurants as a man who can eat peas with his teeth clenched.

From Time Magazine Archive

"He's probably working on a self-energizing hot dog that lathers itself with mustard, climbs into a bun, and then holds a napkin under your chin while you eat it."
