No Joke... just info.
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 US 
and gives seminars and techniques for business women 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 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, FOR IT IS a 2-WAY MIRROR!
So remember, every time you see a Mirror, do the "fingernail test." It 
doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from 
"getting visually raped!"
Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place!"
