"Spare me the grim litany of the "realist." Give me the unrealistic aspirations of the optimist any day."

This is an excerpt from an actual conversation I was trapped into hearing witness to this past weekend. The names and some details have been changed to protect the so-called innocent. And to protect me from getting yelled at.

Scene:

In a car. Driving West. Morning. It's raining. Hard.


Actual Conversation:

Passenger: "Maybe the rain will stop by the time we get there."

Driver: "No, that won't happen, the weather's coming from the south, not the west."


Time passes. It's still pouring.


Passenger: "Hopefully the rain will stop by the time we get there."

Driver: "No, that won't happen, the rain is coming from the south, not the west."


More Time passes. The rain is so loud it drowns out the radio.


Passenger: "Do you think the rain will stop by the time we get there?"

Driver: "AUGH!"


Destination is reached.

It's not raining. The sun is coming out.


Passenger: <grins>

Driver: "Shut up."


Moral of the Story: All you hopeful optimists out there.....just keep doing what you do best, and don't let anybody else rain on your parade (yeah, I know, that was bad!).
