So I was friends with a guy a while back, let's call him SS96
He was always trying to find things that could make his pessimist friend say something positive about but he never could.
One day, the optimist decided to buy a fabulous pet that his pessimist friend couldn’t find anything wrong with. So he went to a specialty pet store and explained his mission to the owner.
The owner replied, “Well I do have a fabulous parrot that can say many things and has beautiful plumage.”
“No he’ll just make fun of the birds mispronunciations and point out the colors it doesn’t have.” said the optimist.
“You know I think I have the perfect pet for you. I have a dog that can walk on water.”
“Seriously?” said the optimist, “I’ll take him! My friend won’t be able to say anything negative about that dog!”
So the optimist took his new dog out on a walk by a small lake with his pessimist friend. As they were casually talking the optimist started playing fetch with the dog. Then the optimist threw the ball out on the lake and the dog ran out on the lake, grabbed the ball and ran back to the men.
“Notice anything about my dog?” asked the optimist.
“Sure, he can’t swim.”
Who cares about the age of the machinery - how on earth you find a route to misery from that I don't know.
