Just for fun...

At a party, a group of guests discussed whether a glass of champagne was half full or half empty.

"It's half full," said the optimist.

"It's half empty," said the pessimist.

"You must be blind," said the optometrist.

"It's actually both," said the realist.

"Are you sure? It could be neither," teased the illusionist.

"It's the best of all possible conditions," asserted the idealist.

"I think it's somewhere in the middle," said the centrist.

"It makes no difference," grumped the fatalist.

"I prefer the terms demi-full and semi-empty," commented the euphemist.

"Half EMPTY or half FULL??" shouted the absolutist.

"Depends on who's looking," remarked the relativist.

"You're missing something," said the lobotomist.

"Half a glass of champagne is plenty!" said the minimalist.

"More than enough," agreed the moralist.

"It's just a bit of bubbly old grape juice," said the reductionist.

"It's fantastic! Fabulous! Unbelievable!" enthused the sensationalist.

"It's bad for society," said the prohibitionist.

"It is a growing problem," said the agronomist.

"This is not a new story," said the novelist.

"God knows," said the deist.

"Let's not fight about it," said the pacifist.

"Only half the calories of a full glass of champagne," pointed out the nutritionist.

"I'll take two," piped up the bigamist.

"Whatever. It's MY champagne! (Looks really good with my outfit, too...)," declared the narcissist.

"Too late for you, because while you all were arguing about it, I drank it," confessed the opportunist with a grin.

"I was just pulling your leg," said the humorist

"No good without a throttle" bellowed the throttleist!

What, you can't read that??

During my residency, I often encountered chart notes from the head of gastroenterology, a very sharp guy with the most precise handwriting in the hospital by far. (A low bar, I know.) Every letter was clearly and consistently formed with calligraphic quality. And for people (like doctors ) who routinely put out long handwritten documents, that's very hard to maintain.

Problem was, he'd apparently made up his own alphabet. Translating it into English script took cryptographic skills. Result: A beautiful but effectively illegible hand.

Was his name Voynich?
 
Doing some work on the truck, I opened the air box:

Showed the wife, she asked if I cleaned it out. Told her "no, the squirrels gotta eat too"
Put a pine tree air freshener in the cab and then remind her of the pine cones in the air box. ;)
