never thought of it that way before...
This makes a great metaphor for life maybe. The glass is half-empty or half-full depending on what you do with it.
I like this view on the subject.
I love it!!! That is exactly what I always say! The glass is half full, if you just poured it. But if you pour it to the top and then drank half, it would be half empty! These are the thoughts that will keep me out of the really good colleges. :-D
The answer that I always gave is, 'It all depends on whether you are pouring or drinking." My favorite answer though is, "Niether, you are halfway to another beer."
Interesting point of veiw, but it is just that. it is not a teaser, more a philosophy

i dont like this teaser at all

My answer was just 'Yes, it is.!'

My personal favorite is that the glass is 2 times larger then it needs to be
