The realist, optimist, and pesimist Which of the following are YOU.......? A long, low pitch tone comes on over the radio The realist : Knows it's a test signal and waits for regular programming to continue. The optomist : Thinks it's a new punk alternative hit and feels great to be one of the first to hear it. The pessimist : Thinks it's an intercepted message from aliens who have come from another world to invade Earth. He then goes into hiding in an old bomb shelter for six months. A strange, suspicious figure in a trenchcoat comes walking up to the front door. The realist ... Is suspicious and speaks to the stranger through locked doors and/or windows and pretends that he is not alone at home by calling on other people. The optomist ... runs up to the stranger with open arms thinking it is a long lost uncle coming to bring him a million dollar inheritance The pessimist ... cocks his 12 gauge shotgun, dons his bulletproof jacket, barricades all the doors and windows, and phones his lawyer just to make sure his last will and testament is in order. While driving, an insect is noticed flying around inside the car... The realist... stops the car and opens all the windows to let the insect out The optimist... stops the car and closes all the windows and tries to catch it as it may be a rare butterfly The pessimist... stops the car and checks his first aid kit to see if he has anti-venom for killer-bee stings
