Apropos : Once, in a small town, lived a man named Jack. Everyone in town knew Jack was very optimistic -- even if a situation was terrible, Jack could always think of a way it could be worse. Everyone in the town was tired of hearing Jack say that, so one day they decided to to lie to Jack.:
"Jack, the baker Bob found his wife in bed with another man last night! He shot the man and then himself! Isn't that terrible?" :
"Sure, it's terrible, but it could've been worse!" :
"How could THAT possibly have been worse?" :
"Well, if it had been the night before I would've been dead!"
