A mirror and a table

Okay, so you are trapped in a room with no doors or windows. There are only two things in the room with you; a mirror on the wall, and a table. How do you escape?

Hint: You have to make use of both items to escape.

If you know the answer for sure, please use spoiler tags.

Not actually a sure thing, but...

Spoiler Below
I'm guessing it's an observation mirror, one of those two-ways things? Break it with the table and walk out.

Better question: How did you get in?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I've actually heard of this before... it requires really out of the box thinking, no?

Tell the mirror its mother was fat. Block its anger with the table. Use the table as a battering ram to break the mirror.

Uh....get frustrated with the situation, break the mirror on the table, and kill yourself?

That'll show 'em.

Well there's doesn't appear to be a ceiling so how about step on the table, use your mirror to do the 3-point check, and safely climb out

You were...uh...you were teleported there. How you got in has nothing to do with how to get out, though.

Nah, the room is completly closed. Celing, floor, walls, everything.

Hint: You need to use the mirror first.

Alright. I look in the mirror, and then destroy the walls with the table.

I can't remember exactly, but I THINK it goes in a little poem/prose thingy:

Spoiler Below

You look around, looking for a saw,
You look in the mirror, to see what you saw
You take the saw, and saw the table in half
The two halves of the table make a whole
You climb through the hole and out.



I swear, I've heard this before (an uncle or something), and I think that's what it is... if not, oh well.


Spoiler Below
Though, I like Wy's solution better; it actually makes sense.

Psh. More like, you look in the mirror, but you don't see **** because there's not a light in the room.
