half/half

Well, we've all heard the age old question, "Is the glass half empty or, is it half full?"
Recently, someone told me that they have the "perfect" answer to that question. They said "If you are pouring the drink, it's half full. If you are drinking the drink, it's half empty." That's a really good answer. Honestly, I cannot even remember who told me that...but if it was one of you, thanks, but I always hated that question anyway. The whole "optimist"/"pessimist" thing is just not me. I don't consider myself either. I am a realist. Meaning, I don't care if the glass is half empty or half full. All I care about is how much juice that kid just wasted and that I have to, now, clean the glass.


So, tell me now...which is which???

Better not spill it on Jimmy.

Either way, Jimmy would not like it.

Me? I'm a half-full kind of girl. :)

I guess if you gave Jimmy a full glass, it would be half empty VERY soon!!! Or half full, as the other half would be on the front half of Jimmy....and so it could go on forever......

As NGM so quickly pointed out - The half full and half empty question is not about straight out volume. Rather - it is about quality. The question is not really about what is the amount we have, but what we have in the glass! As W.C. Fields said, "I don't give a #$^% whether the glass is half empty or full. My question is - what is in the glass!"

As NGM adroitly put it!

OK - if we're going to bring Jimmy into this ----- Jimmy would be very happy. Glass is clear and shiny. Glass is good. Glass hold things. Glass make Jimmy happy. While Jimmy happy, others happy. When Jimmy happy, Jimmy laugh and Jimmy shake. When Jimmy shake and when Jimmy shake, he puke. When Jimmy puke, he make mess. He make mess on shirt. Better to just spill the water. Easier to clean.
