state of mind

[kerosinkanister]

Place a half full glass of water before a pessimist, optimist and an engineer:
The pessimist says the glass is half empty.
The optimist says the glass is half full.
The engineer says the glass is larger than it needs to be.

It's true!

But where are the haikus?

[kerosinkanister]

Totally forgot about that. As it turns out, it's really hard to make that joke into a haiku. This was the best I came up with:

optimist: half full
pessimist: glass half empty
engineer: too large

Ha! My husband is an engineer. So true.

So you recognize the sort!
