Optimist or Pessimist? You Decide

I'm just revisiting this old photo and decided to add some of the jokes going round the world wide webby thingy:-

An optimist says the glass is half full. A pessimist says the glass is half empty, but...

A realist says it doesn't matter. The glass will have to be washed later regardless.

An anarchist says, forget about it, just smash it.

A pacifist says, there's no need to argue.

A fatalist says, it is what it is.

A Zen master says, it just is.

A process manager asks whether you are pouring or drinking.

An engineer says that the glass is too big.

An analyst says it is neither, it simply contains 50% of its potential capacity.

A physicist says the glass is neither. It is completely full, half with water, the other half with air.

A designer says that the glass has a 100% safety tolerance.

A rich man says who has been drinking my wine?

And the winner of any argument is the opportunist, who whilst everyone is arguing over it, drinks it.
