Jealous huh??? OK... :rolleyes:

So how do you feel knowing that I have two pairs of the heavy duty gloves in my pockets when I work? :eek:

Yup, not kidding.

For the record, I only would have the second type in my pockets during Grad Nights and Night of Joy. :D:

You might want to carry a pair of the bovine veterinary ones, just for effect. When you pull one of those on, up to your shoulder, you WILL have their attention !

Suddenly, I am recalling a Far Side cartoon. In it, the panel is split into fourth, each showing a different reaction to the classic "glass half-full/half-empty" cliche. The first two are the traditional "It's half-full", "It's half-empty". The next has a person going "It's half-full. No, wait, half-empty! No, on second thought...".

The last section has a guy going "Hey! I ordered a burger!"

I always liked this nerdy variant: "A pessimist sees a glass as half-empty; an optimist sees it as half-full. An engineer looks at it and sees a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be." :D:

Another option is that the volume of liquid is half the amount needed to fully utilize the glass....
