>
> A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other
> was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other
> thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the
> other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in
> every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom &
> gloom pessimist.
>
> Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their
> father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy
> and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.
>
> That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and
> found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.
>
> "Why are you crying?" the father asked.
>
> "Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all
> these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff,
> I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually
> get broken." answered the pessimist twin.

> Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him
> dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so
> happy about?" he asked.
>
> To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a
> pony in here somewhere!
