Joke - the optimist v the pessimist

Postby Joanne Hagan » Mon 19 Jul 2004 4:39 pm

Done the rounds before, but I still think it's a good one! Enjoy:

An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist sees only
the worst.
An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can
only find the negative in the positive.

Keeping this in mind, an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new
bird dog. His search ended when he found a German Shorhaired Pointer,who could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new German Shorthaired
Pointer...

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by.
They fired and a duck fell. The GSP dog responded and jumped into the
water. The GSP , however, did not sink but instead walked across the
water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This
continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the GSP dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.

On the drive home, the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything
unusual about my new German Shorthaired Pointer?.."

...."I sure did!" responded the pessimist.
"He can't swim."
