Water in the Glass.
A well-known proverb states that an optimistic would say a glass is half full,
While a pessimist would say it is half empty.
What would people of different professions and walks of life say?
The BANKER:
Would say that the glass has just under 50% of its net worth in liquid assets.
The GOVERNMENT:
Would say that the glass is fuller than if the opposition party were in power.
The OPPOSITION:
Would say that it is irrelevant because the present administration has changed the way such volume statistics are collected.
The ECONOMIST:
Would say that, in real terms, the glass is 25% fuller than at the same time last year.
The PHILOSOPHER:
Would say that, if the glass was in the forest and no one was there to see it, would it be half anything?
The PSYCHIATRIST:
Would ask, "What did your mother say about the glass?"
The PHYSICIST:
Would say that the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts; one a colourless, odourless liquid, the other a colourless, odourless gas.
Thus, the cylinder is neither full nor empty.
Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid.
The SEASONED DRINKER:
Would say that the glass doesn't have enough ice in it.
