Mirror on a Stick

Ever since we read the line in The Hard Way: "Reacher, with a mirror on a stick," it has been our little private joke. Don't ask me why, it just strikes us funny.

Imagine my delight the other day to discover this gift pack that includes not only a mirror on a telescoping stick (official name: inspection mirror), but also a telescoping magnetic stick for retrieving dropped metal items, and a magnetic bowl to hold small parts.

I use a regular hand mirror that reflects the back of my head in the wall mirror but the trick is to cut hair with one hand and I have learned how to do that. But think how good I could be if I could just take my head off and place it in front of me and do the cut. I haven't had a pro haircut in 20 years.

A mirror on a stick reminds me of creepy men looking up skirts...

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I've been using it to spy on the cat because if she saw us looking at her, she'd stop doing that cute thing.

Dear Laura, My favorite stick joke of all time from Jay, speaking of someone he disliked intensely: "If he had a wooden leg, he'd be s..t on a stick." Whenever Jay would say I didn't laugh at his jokes, I'd say, I love your s on a stick joke, and he'd groan.

Mr. Tbend just now laughed at it, too. Probably made his day - hard to tell, he's a man of few words.

Am I getting this right? Mirror on a stick to check one's own rear end? Ne'mind the furnace.

comment by tealstar on June 16, 2013 6:38 AM ()

There's a thought. I wonder how it would work for cutting your own hair.

They also call those electrician's mirrors--to see behind cables in a box. Guess it all depends on who's using it.

We will use it underneath the house in the region of the furnaces and plumbing, so we could call it a tunnel rat's mirror.

Certain cops e.g. border guards have been using mirrors on poles for some time to check undercarriages etc.

Now we, too, could inspect the underside of cars - looking for fish smugglers.

Doesn't take too much to make you happy does it????

comment by greatmartin on June 15, 2013 3:38 PM ()

Definitely not.
