Half full or half empty?

Is your glass half full or half empty?

Well, it starts out full. Then I drink some. Then its empty. Then I pour me another one.

So it kinda depends on when you ask.

Why do you ask?

Just curious how attitudes would change if the glass contained urine.

Posted while current question was unrelated to urine. thankyouverymuch

I don't know.

I can't gauge it's relative fullness, since I don't know it's capacity. I do know however that I have never thirsted for long. Nor have I gagged and choked from being innundated by the flow.

The question about the glass's fullness is not an interesting one. I like more interesting questions, such as, what glasses do I have to drink from? What about the glasses of others? How can I drink less from glasses filled with unheathlful drink, and drink more of what's good for me?

But thanks for asking.

Technically, it's not air, it's methane, but it does come out warm.

My glass is full - I just started my vacation and won $7 at nickel/dime/quarter poker.
