The salesman says the glass is half full.

Wouldn't a real salesman promise that the glass would be full to the rim on delivery?

The accountant says the glass is half empty.

For tax purposes I suppose, but not for an IPO.

The design engineer says the glass has 100% redundant capacity.

No he wouldn't. A marketing weenie might, but an engineer? Never.

The graphic designer says the ad copy is going to be hard to produce because the glass and the water have similar refractive indices, and are making Pantoning the image very "interesting."

Agreed.

The support engineer knows that none of this matters, because the end user is going to spill the glass into their keyboard and open a trouble ticket on the problem.

Confirmed! Confirmed! New and improved idiots, etc.

from the Boondock Saints...

the family prayer

“And Shepherds we shall be

For thee, my Lord, for thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.”

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Someone from a previous generation observed that life is easy; "you just need to endure the unendurable, suffer the insufferable, tolerate the intolerable, or put another way, life is too important to take too seriously"

And my corollary to that is: Never take yourself too seriously.

TheSp8 and wsk, thanks for some really great ones.

Here's one I claim as my own though I may have heard from someone else decades ago:

See my signature line below. I added the part about my son and the chicken. The rest is plagiarized from somewhere.

All this talk of the glass being half full or half empty.

While everybody is busy talking about it, it is just another glass I have to pick up and wash because nobody else will.
