“There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. 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!”
That is priceless! Thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a day. And it’s a great illustration of the fact that reality is not affected by our perceptions of it.

Add the half full to the half empty and drink the undecided. Problem solved.

Actually, it’s not half empty because it’s half full of liquid and the other half is full of air.

If you’re filling it; it’s half full. If you’re drinking it; it’s half empty. If you’re old like me you don’t remember which you were doing.

Half empty or half full? Depends on the original amount in the glass!
