Is the glass of milk half empty, or half full?

OPTIMIST: The glass if half full.

PESSIMIST: The glass is half empty.

SCIENTIST: This mystery will be solved once and for all after we have secured enough grant money and pharmaceutical company sponsorship.

ASTROLOGIST: Neptune is in Aquarius, Jupiter is in Scorpio, and Uranus is in the milk glass, which is making it difficult to dunk my Oreo.

ORTHOPEDIST: The lab tests are inconclusive as to the quantity of milk. We'll need to do some more scans and possibly some exploratory surgery. The milk glass does have insurance, doesn't it?

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST: By accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ your milk cup shall be overflowing and shall sing the praises of eternal life. Read this pamphlet, and I'll be back next week.

CONSPIRACY THEORIST: The milk glass is a patsy. I have evidence of the presence of a second container of milk on the glassy knoll.

SEGREGATIONIST: Regular milk in one glass - chocolate milk in a separate, equal glass.

ACTIVIST: Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Totalitarian milk has got to go!

PSYCHIATRIST (Freudian): The milk represents the mother. The glass represents your penis. That's the end of our time for today.

PSYCHIATRIST (Jungian): The milk represents the I Ching. The glass represents Freud's penis. That's the end of our time for today.

DENTIST: Your teeth are a mess. You should really increase your calcium intake. Are you still drinking those small glasses of milk?

EVANGELIST: And God did smite those whom He found unworthy! And lo, did the milk glasses spill over in the desert, causing those who worshiped the false idols to wander aimlessly and without the comfort of the lactate of the Lord. Let us pray.

PHRENOLOGIST: C'mon, I'm serious ... put the stupid glass down and let me feel your head.
