I would suggest that farmers are pessimists. They always talk about the
crops that have failed. Gardeners however are optimists, yes they tell
you about the crops that failed but they also list the ones that were
successful.


Pessimists are seldom disappointed ("see, I said it was going to
rain"), and are often pleasantly surprised ("that's nice; it's turned
out fine after all").


Yes but its still a bit cloudy says the pessimist.
You are supposed to give that sample to the doctor says the optimist.
Pessimist says "you are my doctor"
Optimist says "not for much longer"

Our Doctor always greets you as you enter his room with a 'Hello, how are
you?' I rolled him up one day with a "Well you're my Doctor you are supposed
to tell me how I am"
