Two little sons A father had two little sons, one of whom was an eternal optimist, while the other was a perpetual pessimist. One Christmas he decided try to temper both of their proclivities: in addition to their standard gifts, he told them they'd each get something "chosen especially for you!" His plan was to give the pessimist every toy and game he could possibly desire, while the optimist would be directed to the basement filled with manure. On Christmas, after the normal presents were opened, the father sent the optimist to the cellar, while leading the pessimist to the room filled with presents. After the pessimist opened all the gifts, he turned to his father with a sad face and said: "How can I possibly use all these? The TV will wear out, the Nintendo will get smashed, and all the other toys will be broken!" After a few minutes of listening to such woe, the father remembered his optimistic son, and ran to the basement steps. There in the basement was his other son, swimming through the manure with a gleeful smile. The father asked him why he was so happy, to which the boy exclaimed "With this much manure, there must be a pony in here somewhere!" 1446. Here are some things to do when you're in a less than happy mood:

Defense Attorney: Mr. Smith, you were held up at gunpoint on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Main Street on August 7th, is that correct? Smith: Yes, that's correct. Defense: Did you struggle with the alleged robber? Smith: No. Defense: Why in the world not? Smith: He was armed. Defense: Then you made a conscious decision to comply with his demands rather than resist? Smith: Yes. Defense: Have you ever given money away before? Smith: I didn't give it away, it was... Defense: (interrupting) Please answer the question, Mr. Smith. Smith's Attorney (the prosecution): Objection, your Honor! My client's prior financial history is irrelevant to these proceedings. Defense: Oh no, it most certainly is not. In fact I am trying to establish a pattern here which may explain the happenings on August 7th. If the witness has an extensive history of giving money away, then his honesty about the so-called "robbery" would reasonably come under question. Judge: Objection overruled. Please answer the question Mr. Smith. Defense: Now, Mr. Smith, do you ever give money away? Smith: Yes, of course. Defense: And you do so willingly? Smith: Of course. What are you getting at? Defense: Do you enjoy giving away money? Smith: Yes, that's why I do it. Defense: Well, let's put it like this, Mr. Smith, shall we? You've given money away in the past. In fact it is quite possible that the defendant recognized you as someone who has quite a reputation for philanthropy. How can we be sure that you did not _want_ to have your money taken by force? And even if you didn't want it taken _this_ time, how can we expect the defendant to have known that? Smith: That's ridiculous! If I had... Defense: (interrupting) And how much did you give the man? Smith: I didn't _give_... Judge: (interrupting) Answer the question please Mr. Smith. Defense: How much did you give him? Smith: One hundred dollars. Defense: One hundred dollars? That doesn't seem like a lot for someone who has given away so much money before. Smith: Uh... It was very traumatic. I felt my life was in danger. Defense: Yes, well we know that's your story. So you were carrying one hundred dollars in cash. What time did the "robbery" take place? Smith: Around eleven at night. Defense: You were out on the streets alone at eleven p.m. with one hundred dollars in cash? Doing what, for heaven's sake? Smith: Just walking. Defense: Just walking? Don't you know that it's dangerous to be out on the street late at night? Weren't you aware that you could be held up? Smith: I hadn't really thought about it. I was just walking. Defense: Are you sure you weren't _looking_ for someone to give money to? Smith: NO! I was just out for a walk. Judge: I will have no more outbursts like that in my courtroom, Mr. Smith. Defense: And what were you wearing? Smith: A suit. Defense: An expensive suit? Smith: Well, I am a successful business person. Defense: Don't you think it is rather foolish to wear an expensive suit after midnight when you are carrying a hundred dollars? Smith: But it wasn't after midnight, it was eleven pm. Defense: So you do admit then that it _would_ be foolish to be out after midnight? Smith: That's not what I said. I was just correcting... Judge: (interrupting) Answer the question Mr. Smith. Smith: No, I don't think that it would be foolish. Defense: So, in other words, Mr. Smith, you were walking the streets late at night in a bad part of town, wearing a suit that practically _advertised_ the fact that you might be a good target for easy money, isn't that so? I mean, Mr. Smith, one might logically conclude that you were asking for this to happen. Smith: But I... Defense: (interrupting) The defense rests, your Honor. 1450.
