Janus 63,654 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 " There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

sanctus 80,743 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Those who wonder if the glass is half full or half empty and those who just drink it up and/or fill it up again ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pyrotex 434,128 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Those who rant and rave and argue endlessly about whether their glasses are half full, or half empty, or too big, or too small... and those who quickly drink our beer, and then drink the beer of those who rant and rave and argue endlessly...

lawcat 95,363 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 The real problem is when the glass is empty. Then it's neither half full nor half empty. Rather, it is completely empty. And that is a big problem. 0 * 2, 0 / 2 = 0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

freeztar 365,476 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Those that philosophi on the half-ness or un-half-ness of liquids, and those that don't judge the vesicle by the amount of liquid it holds. (glass is half-height inspired) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
