The Pessimist
An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His
search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water
to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his
friends would ever believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist
by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.
As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired,
and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water.
The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water
to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet.
The friend saw everything but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice
anything unusual about my new dog?"
"I sure did," responded his friend. "He can't swim."
