Half full or half empty? You decide!

Is the glass half full or half empty? It's a problem that has vexed psychologists for years and one that we are no nearer to solving still. Or are we?

At The Spoof we don't shy away from the big issues and today we are going to shed some light on one of the biggest conundrums known to man.

For now according to the Society of Optimists (SOO), it is very definitely half-full! Steve Goodvibes a spokesman for SOO told us:

"The glass definitely is half full and I'll tell you why. Because we say so that's why. We're talking about the power of positive thought here and I think it is...so it is.

Let's not hear any of thee miserable bastards moaning about it being half empty!"

But Bill Morose from the Society of Doom (SOD), has a different take on it:

"It's half empty. If you drink the same amount again then it's going to be totally empty. Gone! I mean how bad is that? It couldn't be worse really, could it? Oh God no! Noooooo!""

And there you have it readers, so why not write in and tell us whether the glass is half empty or half full and why? We'll be giving a prize for the best suggestions. Just so long as we get enough entries to half fill a mail sack or leave it half empty.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
