Furrow

The old man's general disposition over the course of his entire life is displayed via a prominent, permanent furrow, pressed deeply into the flesh on his forehead.

One could suppose that all he has ever done is frown, and that his only mood has been 'grumpy.'

But surely he must have smiled once. On his wedding day, perhaps, or after a good joke, or when winning $20 in the lottery?

Everybody must have a good day from time to time; at what sort of things could the world's grumpiest man smile at?
