An optimist and a pessimist were riding a bus together when the optimist got hungry.
"Let's stop at the next restaurant," said the optimist. "Then we can take the next bus and continue our journey."
"I don't think that's a good idea," said the pessimist. "It could cause something bad to happen."
"Or it could cause something good to happen," replied the optimist, "and besides, I'm hungry!"
So the two of them left the bus and went into the restaurant.
While they were eating, a news report came on the TV.
"A bus was crushed in an avalanche fifteen minutes ago," said the reporter. "Everyone on the bus was killed." The optimist and the pessimist recognized the bus as the one they had gotten off.
"See?" said the optimist. "I told you something good would happen if we got off the bus!"
"Good?" sputtered the pessimist. "If the bus hadn't stopped to let us off, it might have missed the avalanche!"
Moral:
It all depends on how you look at it.

rom the vault . . .
There once were twin brothers, one of whom was always pessimistic and one who was always optimistic, the proverbial eternal optimist.
This presented an opportunity for scientists to carry out tests and studies, to which the parents agreed.
Accordingly the pessimistic lad was placed in a room full of toys, computer games and other diversions that were the current rage, then left for an hour.
The optimistic boy was placed in a room full of horse manure for an hour.
After the hour was up, the scientists opened the door of the pessimistic boy’s room and found the toys broken and the computer screen smashed. The boy was mumbling “My brother probably has lots better things than I have. He’s probably having a lot more fun.”
When they opened the optimistic boy’s door they found him still wading through the manure, digging deep with his hands and saying “With all this manure, there must be a pony in here somewhere.”

The Pessimist says, "Everything is terrible! It can't get any worse."
To which the Optimist replies, "Oh yes it can!"
Actually, this will still make sense if reversed . . .
The Optimist says, "Everything is terrible! It can't get any worse."
To which the Pessimist replies, "Oh yes it can!"
