Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Sometimes our greed is merely a reflection of our true selves.
Sometimes we really do believe we will get something for nothing -- or at least very little.
Take Jalonta Freeman of Arlington, Texas. She was at a gas station. Suddenly a man drove up to her and offered her an $800 iPad for a mere $200.
Wouldn't you have been slightly suspicious? Wouldn't you have at least opened the box to check whether there was, well, an iPad inside?
Freeman took the deal.
"He was, like, OK, I gotta hurry up and go and stuff," she told KXAS-TV.
.
It was only when she drove away that the magic box was opened.
The back side of her new iPad looked (vaguely) like an iPad. But the front, sadly, was a sham.
