Alice's twin boys were exact opposites. Bill was an eternal
optimist. No matter how dark the cloud, he always found a
silver lining. Bob was a hopeless pessimist...always finding
the negative no matter how good the situation.
Alice asked a psychiatrist what to do about Christmas. The
doctor told her to buy all the toys she could for Bob, the
pessimist; and to get nothing for Bill. In fact, he told
her to wrap up some manure for Bill.
Christmas morning, Dave and Alice came downstairs and found
the twins by the tree. She asked Bob what Santa had brought
him.
"A BB gun, but I'll probably hit someone in the eye and
blind him. And a bicycle, but I'll probably get run over
and be killed while riding it. And a computer, but I'll
probably get carpal tunnel syndrome from too much typing.
And an electric train, but I'll probably electrocute myself,"
said Bob.
Realizing it wasn't going well, Alice asked Bill what he got.
"I'm not sure!!" he replied excitedly. "I think I got a pony,
but I haven't been able to find him yet."
