Ok...not a stupid question, but a real head scratcher.
I remember it from the tv show "Different World". A professor in a physics class asked:
Why does a mirror reverse things left and right, but not up and down?
phew...glad I was an art major

Ooh, it never occured to me to wonder about that, but it's a poser.
I'm guessing it's due to the same thing I experience in karate class when I face someone and they're supposed to punch me, only I can never figure out which is their right and which is their left, because their right is on my left and vice versa.
I finally gave up, and now I just point. "Punch me with that arm, whichever it is."
