Charles Darwin called blushing “the most peculiar and most human of all expressions.”
Mark Twain concluded, “Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to.”

“Brett, why are you blushing?”
“I blush because of unconscious hyper vasodilator nerves over which I have no conscious control.”
After a while, they stopped asking.
