What you SEE is what you GET.

You probably know the old story of a stranger who settled in a town and asked his neighbor:
"What are the people like here?"

The neighbor, a Quaker, replied quietly with a question,
"What were the people like where thee came from?"

The newcomer answered,
"I have come from ______. The people there were very mean and dishonest."

The Quaker answered,
"I'm afraid thee will find them all here."

A third person who had overheard the conversation, joined in by remarking:
"This surprises me because I have come from the same town, and I found them a very kind and friendly lot of people."

And the old Quaker turning to him said:
"Thee will find them all here too."
