Glass half full?

How do you read the following sentence?

Opportunityisnowhere.

If you saw opportunity is now here, you are one of life’s eternal optimists :)

If you saw opportunity is nowhere, you’re like me and a trifle depressed right now :(

If you saw opportunity I snow here, you’re screwed :P

    I saw “opportunity is nowhere” – but I’m not so sure whether this is pessimism or just the fact that when trying to make sense of that sort of thing I always seem to automatically split words at the last possible moment rather than the first.

    We were taught this in assembly back when I was 11 or so, so I can’t participate.

    Funnily enough, this exact wordplay was going through my mind a couple of days ago, as were some others, but I took no note of them and have now forgotten :(

    Oh, and in regards to the question that prompted the thread title, I’d have to say that that depends on whether one is filling the glass, or drinking from it :P

    Ha :) Actually there’s a joke someone told me recently that optimists think the glass is half full, pessimists think the glass is half empty, and auditors want to know your justification for putting that much water in the glass in the first place :)

    …and engineers think the glass is twice the required size!
