Poor me another glass?

[GON]

Intentionally used poor instead of pour.

ALRIGHT! I knew that I was an optimist and you just confirmed it.

Half empty? Reminds me of this ribald poem about an older gentleman, an optimist, and a much younger female acquaintance.

Not poor though.
Are you suggesting that someone who enjoys a few drinks will be poor?

HB,

I misspelled pour in the title thread, and decided to keep the misspelling for grins. Nothing deep in the word substitute.

But I will say, I never regret not having a drink the night before when I wake up in the morning.

I have. Depended on where and with whom was there when I woke up.

After I posted my response, I edited out the last bits, I figured that it really didn’t matter. Obviously I’m an optimist, I’ll have a few and my glass never gets past half empty until I’m ready to finish up. Topping up keeps it at the perfect temperature.

Based on your response, I think you missed the “not” part in GON’s post.

In grade school, a long long time ago, my son was asked by his teacher if the glass was half empty or half full. His response was and I know this because when we went in for back to school night she told us his answer was it depends. She queried him and he said, well if that's the way it was filled then its half full, but if you drank from it then its half empty. She said that was the best response ever.

Didn't Tony Randall do that a million years ago on Johnny Carson or some other late night show?
