: : Today I was talking to a religious leader and he said to me, "You look like you're going to swallow a grapefruit. What was he inferring?

: Was your mouth gaping open? A professor I knew used to say, "Are you catching flies?"

Visibly swallowing? As in "GULP." An external sign of internal stress? Or maybe it has to do with the Bible verse about swallowing a camel and straining at a gnat. Interesting question.
