Rebuttal

All things considered, I respectfully disagree That a glass overflowing is neither half full nor empty Obviously, over the rim is simply more than enough You can’t pour any more in, or, into a full glass stuff! H/T to Jeff Kyser’s response to my “Perspective”

"over the rim is simply more than full enough" - I want to run with this. Terrific imagery.

Thanks, Caren. Jeff Kyser and I were having a bit of fun back and forth with this one.

Ah, just toying around with an old adage; having some fun with it.

Half full, half empty means the same thing , so why argue.

We do have. We just can't figure out whether they are half full, half empty, or running over! Whee!

I like this one. Those overing glasses are somewhat messy unless it is just plain old water. Creative lines. Sara

Thanks, Sara. We're just having fun with the half full/half empty concept.
