Master Huairang took a brick and started to grind it in front of Mazu’s cabin.
Mazu asked, “Why are you grinding the brick?”
The Master said, “To polish it into a mirror.”
Mazu replied, "Master, did you not hear about the sale at the Riddled Trochophore larvae and Second-Hand Furniture Warehouse? Three-mirror dressing tables are half-price, all weekend! Free delivery, plus two koans and a sipunculid worm!"

wv, munki...the nature of whom is irrepressible.
Free delivery, plus two koans and a sipunculid worm!"
Oh boy, I can't wait for that delicious, delicious worm!
I believe that demons have smooth faces and thus the brick mirror would have us all demonised.
Stick with the tried and true Riddled merchandise, my friends
(clearly just a ploy to rid yourself of sipunculid worms)
(...and, of course, a blameless endeavour)
It's about a brick

Sounds like someone's been reading his Lafcadio Hearn.
I conclude that I am built like a brick shithouse.
