“How do you do the wave at a chess match?”/“With your eyebrows.”

Sports fans in many stadiums do “the wave.” There’s a chess joke:
 
Q: How do chess crowds do the wave?
A: With their eyebrows.
 
The joke was told by American columnist and author Charles Krauthammer in 2001 and 2016.

Know how chess crowds do the wave? guffawed a CBS newsreader. With their eyebrows. Ho, ho.

Because of noise restrictions, there isn’t much for rowdy fans to do at a chess match.  For that reason I will soon debut The Eyebrow Wave.

You scoff, of course. For years, I’ve had to put up with amused puzzlement at my taste in entertainment. (Old joke: how do you do the wave at a chess match? With your eyebrows.) But I remain undaunted.
