Many years ago, I remember seeing a shirt that made me laugh. It showed a glass with water on several rows, and below each was a phrase related to how a certain view interpreted it (Ie, a pessimist sees it half empy, an optomist sees it half full, ect).

Since we haven't had any good humor/group partiipation threads in a while, I thought this might be a interesting exercise to try. I've started a short list below. So I want you to add to it. Try to be as funny and original as possible.

Optomist- the glass is half full.
pessimist- the glass is half empty.
fatalist-the water will evaporate.
existentialist- the glass is.
feminist- all glasses are equal.
narcissist-look at me in the water!
polygamist-the more glasses the merrier.
evangelist-the glass must repent.
socialist-share the glass.
capitalist-sell the glass.
anarchist- break the glass.
psychologist- How does the water feel about the glass?

I suffer from optomist, definitely - I swear, my glasses smudge faster than I can even *think* of cleaning them. Or in winter, when you walk into a bar and they fog up like nobody's business?

Can't see a ****ing thing, some days.

It is said that a variant from it blinds you to any spelling errors. Maybe we are facing an epidemic surge of optomists.

Y no entienden nada... ¡y cómo se divierten!...

My best friend is an engineer. This sounded EXACTLY like something he would say.

But shouldn't an engineer build the glass with 2x fault tolerance anyway?

Cash: That glass has a high center of gravity, tips easily, and is a danger to everyone using it.

Don't worry, it's just glass-envy.

Also: It needs too much water to be full.
