I want a urinal.
So you had a heart, and didn't break their mirror.
It's not too bad (the mirror).

The mirror is kinda an inside joke.

WTF is with the mirror you ask???
I'll tell you this - it came off the upstairs fireplace mantel and it was all I could do not to: A) Accidentally drop it B)Accidentally drop my hammer on it C) Take it outside and use it to signal the planes flying overhead (and then drop it!)
Customer sinks about 60K into a basement reno and wants to use an old mirror, what do you say??

Ah, for you it would. You did good my man. I'm proud of you. It's not that bad. I was picturing something much worse. Who knows what the background is. I've got crap all over my house I can't get rid of because my grammy got these things at a flea market for a buck back in 1952. I see crap, my mother sees history. I have found something else to complain about.
