A few years ago I had a luncheon meeting with three writers. Because one of them had a transportation problem I picked her up and we went to the restaurant. At the entryway both sides of the area were floor to ceiling mirrors, and the bubbling and bright young woman with me suddenly went silent and turned bright red.
I asked if there was a problem, and she nodded, barely moving her head. After a moment of quiet I asked what the problem was and she turned bright red would not speak until after we were ushered to the table where the other two were waiting.
When seated I asked what the problem was and she said there was another woman in line at the desk who was dressed just like her but made her look like she was a dump, same dress or not.
I did not remember anyone, so I asked if she could elucidate, and she just said the woman looked so perfect it hurt, same dress— and after the other two asked a couple of questions one of them asked if that woman was alone or with a group.
The answer still echoes in my memory— She was just drop dead gorgeous, and she was with this old man.
Well, it definitely wasn’t a re-do of the Lucille Ball-Harpo Marx mirror gag.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=harpo+marx+lucille+ball+mirror&view=detail&mid=C715E089A7B829B920CBC715E089A7B829B920CB&FORM=VIRE

in my head I identify with a 30 year old…then I walk past a mirror. Nope, not 30 anymore

on the flip side, she’s gonna slap him later when she realized he wasn’t pleased to make that mistake.

I finally found a cartoon that I’m too cowardly to show my wife!
