Unexpected Optimist Pillows

One blade of grass shouting to the others. 'Thems that get shat upon 'ill be tha lucky ones!'

'Ms Dolan, when hanging up, please stop wishing clients a happy recession.'

"Of course this'll be a great year. The data, sales projections, customer surveys, and my mom all think so."

"I feel like that I've been given a unique oppurtunity to speak out on issues."

'Oh for heaven's sake, you're a cow. Just eat grass and be happy.'

One man's obstacle is another man's stepping stone.

"This year I resolve to embrace change."

"I think I can". (train)

"Using worst case scenario as a baseline, I consider this data quite encouraging."

'Actually, my mom was the first to notice he'd lost that new boyfriend smell!'

'We had no contingency plan for things going right.'

"Don't you worry about me. I always land on my feet."

"Well, so much for my lucky hat! I've worn it to five interviews and not ONE callback!"

'The good news is that from now on I belong to a very rare species. There aren't many personnel managers who create their own pink slip.'

"I hate weddings. They make me feel a momentary lapse of cynicism."

Doug reasoned that things could be worse...but just how much worse...he wasn't sure??

"Oh, don't mind us... We just want to make sure it's really dead."

"I've tried to keep one in the past, but it always flew away when my husband came home. So I thought I'd try this method!"

Ahhh, spring baseball.

"His face may be in the gutter, but his bum's looking up at the stars."

Flower growing from a bomb.

Man replaces tank sign with deer sign

'Every day son, I feel on top of the World!'

"Look on the bright side, you never know what's round the corner."

"It's amazing how far you can go with a positive attitude."

'The key is not to take yourself too seriously: You have to be able to laugh at yourself...'
