Of course, I had not the faintest idea what was causing her so much
distress. She then pointed out something I never thought of before. 

People were dressed in the worst possible fashion, according to her:
plaids with stripes; clothes so tight you could see their blood 
pulsating through their veins. 

How people get into such clothes is beyond me. My only conclusion is,
that they are born in those clothes. 

Perhaps the biggest question I might have is, how in the world do they
ever get out of their clothes at night? 

Then the hair. I never took notice before, but as my wife pointed out to
me, some people have bad hairdos. 

Just as she pointed this out to me, in walked a person – male or female,
I do not know – with their hair greased up in points. Each point was a 
different color. 

The only blue hair I had seen was Aunt Erma's back in Pennsylvania. 

“You would think,” my wife commented, “that these people did not have
mirrors in their homes.” 

Then it struck me. I think my wife has hit upon something rather
sinister. I'm only hoping it is not the work of some terrorist group, 
although there is a certain amount of terror in the thought. 

Based on the evidence at hand, I must conclude that someone, or some
group of people, have been stealing mirrors from the homes of 
unsuspecting people. 

The evidence is too overwhelming to ignore. If people had mirrors in
their homes, they never would leave home without looking at themselves. 


Reflecting on this I was reminded of something I had read in the Bible. 

“For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a
man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, 
and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he 
was” (James 1:23-24). 

Being happy with yourself on the inside is much better than being happy
with yourself on the outside.
