In his stand-up act, "Mr. Universe", Jim Gaffigan says he "recently became a father", in explaining that his wife recently gave birth to their 4th child.  As he already had three children, he only became a father of 4, and he didn't become a father.  Although "Mr. Universe" is extremely hilarious (it's probably the funniest stand-up act I've ever seen), and I love Jim Gaffigan's humor (I don't love his logic), Jim Gaffigan makes another outstanding error in this same stand-up act.  He criticizes the mirrors in gyms as encouraging narcisism.  Gyms don't put up mirrors for a narcist to admire the image in the mirror.  Gyms put up mirrors for the excerciser to examine his or her form.  This reasoning doesn't prevent the occasional narcisist from loving the mirrors in gyms.  I know I really apreciate gym mirrors during my workouts.  I use the present tense because I still workout.  I attend institutional therapy 3 days/week (now 5 days/week) to recover from my injuries.  Maybe, at some point, I can recover from my obsession with correcting trivial mistakes.  In that case, I guess I wouldn't be me.
