Cynical Optimist 1

[Scott24x7]

Is this an oxymoron? I actually found myself describing myself this way today... maybe I'm just cracked. Any insight???


Best Regards,
Scott

Hi,
An optimist builds castles in the sky,
the pessimist builds dungeons..

The cynic notes that a Psyciatrist
will charge them both rent...

Well my answer to the glass half full question would be "Oh, is it your round? I've just about finished this one." so what does that make me?

This whole glass half full or half empty thing.

There is just simply a dearth of beer isn't there?

Hi,
Ask an engineer about the half empty/half full thing, and the reply may be:
"The glass is the wrong size"

lol - and ask an accountant if the glass is half full or half empty, he'll reply, "Which do you want it to be?"

Do you know the best way to annoy an accountant?

Sit him in a chair, and don't allow him to move.

Then mis-fold a map in front of him.

To make it really unkind, use his own map....

LOL. Fee, that reminds me of an occasion quite a few years ago, now, when I started printing a long report for a colleague on continuous listing paper and it wasn't stacking properly. The colleague 'helpfully' reached 'round the back of the printer and started arranging the paper. I leapt across the office, yelling, "No, no! Don't go against the fold - it will never stack properly!", and proceeded to sort the bundle out correctly.

It became a standing joke around the office for a while and I became the butt of some hillarious one-liners. Ahh, it still makes me smile when I remember it. :-D

Aren't Cyclical Optimists also known as manic-depressives? You know, "bi-polar" bears, gay one moment and, er, down the next?
