OK, try this one on for size:
In a room, on a bar, sits an ice cold cup of soda, half full.
An Optimist walks in, sees it, and thinks, "Aah. The glass is half-full. It has the potential to be quite refreshing."
A Pessimist walks in, sees it, and thinks, "Rats. The glass is half-empty. There's not enough in it to quench my thirst."
A REALIST walks in, takes one look at the glass, and screams out, "OK, who's the wise guy that drank half my pop?"

My question is...
Who was the wise @$$ that put soda in a beer glass?

Then the hopeful person walks into the bar
and says,
"Ok guys, I see you started without me. Who's round is it coz, it fer sure ain't mine?"
Then he ducks to avoid flying missiles from the other three.
