Matt Ulberg Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 If the glass contains a, uh, "sample", a nurse will see it as half empty, the patient will see it as half full... Perspective is what matters... MU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJY Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 If you go to see the movie Gigli and your still awake after it's half over you must have left because a half full glass of beer was a better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 ...what glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 [Monty Pythonesque mode /ON] Patron: this glass is half empty, I paid for a full glass!!! Barkeep: no, you paid for a half-full glass...and there you have it Patron: (drops glass) this glass has ceased to be!!! Barkeep: (pours beer onto the counter) no, you're glass is right there!! Patron: no it isn't!!! Barkeep: yes it is!!! Patron: this glass is quite broken!!! Barkeep: so, you gonna pay me for that second pint, eh?

BigDave Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I was having a conversation with my manager yesterday and she was stating "I'm having a harding time transitioning from a 'glass half empty' to a 'glass half full' kind of person" My reply was "Why don't you simply accept the fact that there is a glass and there is stuff in it? Quit worrying about how full or un-full it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 The question is, Is the glass L10 or Limited? We better ask John Amidon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I can't tell if its half full or half empty? Who's got an overlay? (thanks for the inspiration SRT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Big Dave, Better make sure your Ltd glass is at least 1/2 empty when you drink in Ltd 10. If it's even close to 1/2 full, you'll get bumped to Open with the big dogs. And boy, can we drink!!! After all WE can use 170mm glasses!!!

AikiDale Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 A fortnight of ratiocination has led me to conclude it depends upon the beverage. If yellow beer it is half full. If Guinness half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I find it very interesting that Brian didn't actually mention a "glass" in his question. This month let's have comedy instead of trivia. Whoever can write the funniest/most insightful commentary on the age-old "half empty/half full" or "half over/half left" dilemma will be the winner.

SRT Driver Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Ahh Flex, But you were the first to mention a glass!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Flex - I think you cooked your noodle a bit too much this time. Although, you are entitled to your own point of view and to make observations as you see necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hmmm........ Perhaps the winner is half decided. Or, half undecided........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Allright, sorry for the delay all. First, Flex was right on it. I wasn't thinking (only) glass. Just a couple oddly timed, quite different incidents sparked the inquiry into the dilema. Next, I really enjoyed EVERYONE's comments. So thanks to all for participating! Last, I gotta go with Erik Warren's If the magazine is half-full, reload. If the magazine is half-empty, switch to Limited or Open. because it cracks me up. And the best part is that I can't even apply logic to it. I just like it. Now I realize why it's difficult for me to feel "finished" with this type of question. Since there is no correct answer - who would be the winner if Erik hadn't posted? That's the problem; there are so many good answers. So again, thanks to everyone! This just gave me a new idea for next month... Erik, Since you probably all set on books and glide, pm me and we'll figure you out something special.
