"The optimist sees the glass as half full, the pessimist half empty, I want to know who's been drinking my beer?!"

"The optimist sees the glass as half full, the pessimist half empty, the engineer notes that the glass is too large"

The way things have been going lately, this one from Babylon Five comes to mind very often...

"Yes, yes, Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry. Go, go, Zathras take care."

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.

"The optimist sees the glass as half full, the pessimist half empty, the engineer notes that the glass is too large"

No, no, no...

The salesman says the glass is half full.

The accountant says the glass is half empty.

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

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."

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.

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:
"The most important thing I have learned in my life is how much I do not know."

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.
