[Vision2020] Merry Christmas vs. Bah Humbug (Humor)

[Tom Hansen]

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks.
If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said
the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up.
Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and
gloom pessimist.

Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded
the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room
he loaded with horse manure.

That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting
amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying?" the father asked.

"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these
instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need
batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimist
twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in
the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here
somewhere!"

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"
