                          MIRROR OR 2-WAY GLASS??



Can you tell when you are in a hotel room, restroom, motel etc. with a
mirror whether it is in fact a mirror or 2-way glass?




Here's how:


I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're
going do what I did and find the nearest mirror... Do you know how to
determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?  This is not to scare you, but to
make you aware.

A policewoman who travels all over the U.S. and gives seminars and
techniques for businesswomen passed this on. When we visit toilets,
bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure
that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or
actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them)?
There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female
changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by
just looking at it.
So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we
are looking at? Just conduct this simple:

Test:  Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and
if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it
is a GENUINE mirror.  However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image
of your nail, then BEWARE, THAT, IT IS A "2-WAY" MIRROR!


"No Space - Leave the Place" So remember, every time you see a Mirror, do
the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.

Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place"

Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc.



Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in-law, mothers,
girlfriends and friends.

Er....Ahem! Uhm! Where would one buy one of these mirrors, if say one was interested in this type of thing....

[toonfandangl]

Depends!! How bad  they need it.................I have contacts............

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I got one of those.......
next to my front door....can see out but not in. If I wait long enough to answer the door my visitors end up checking out their teeth or fluffing their hair or digging boogers out their nose.
NOW back to the topic.

Mike,
        There's an Irish firm (Irish Two-Way Mirrors) supplies them. Look them up on Google. Or you can make your own quite easily the way they do - just glue two mirrors back to back. I've got one at home, works beautifully.......

[toonfandangl]

Bob !!! is that the same Irish company that won the contract to build the channel tunnel, Patrich and Michael Inc. they each had an end to start from and it was pointed out by Michael that they could miss each other in the middle.

Patrich was flipped about his reply saying well the cheapskates will get two tunnels for the price of one..........................................

[Bob Molloy]

'Fraid not. It was Secure Subs, another company altogether. They used to build submarines for the Irish navy but lost the contract when the navy found they could enter any submarine by sending down a diver to knock on the conning tower.
I must add that they didn't lose the contract immediately. They were given three months to come back with a modification that would stop such entry.
The contract was finally awarded to the Sub Zero (the firm which built the Titanic) after Secure Subs came back with a new design in which all entry ports to the submersion pumps were blocked off. This, as they pointed out, protected the submarine from divers by ensuring it could never be submerged.

Give credit were its due Bob!! the Irish are very inventive people they see a problem and eliminate it, like the two Irish football fans sitting in the stadium and the crowd were displeased with the  referees decision and started pelting bottles on the field.
One of the fans stated ducking and weaving in his seat (as they were near the front) and his friend said "don't worry Pat" I believe it has got to have your name on it!!  (Like the war story's and the bullet with your name on it), and Pat replied that's the trouble my name is Guinness ................................................................................. PS hope Rhona is not watching this post.

I was just about to say that....! You'll have the Paddy patrol on your case, and a whole lot of leprachauns...

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

Andy D don't you mean Patrick & Metric.........????????

[Andrew Darné]

Ooh aye... they teh!

[toonfandangl]

I liked the one from Diana!!  see through  glass in the front door, and the observing the Boogie pickers, there is a theory why children do it and its they get calcium from it.

Personally I would drink milk.................Paddy patrol around here ??? ...'hey' this is America!! there are lots of Irish here!! I am being aware .... ....

[Stephanie Van Niekerk]

Toonfandang, interesting that you mentioned that. The calcium thing.
I also read an article saying that parents should try not to freak out to much when kids do that, cause that way they also build their immunity system (not sure if this is the correct word).  Apparently some of the bacteria / germs on the boogers helps with this.
I am just glad only read that after my kids were fully grown.

I hate it when you see a person picking their nose and then for what ever reason, they need to shake your hand.....

[Alfred Boehme]

And even worse when they pick it,roll it and flick it.............in your eye
