The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 08, 2020

Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig howvbeautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

At my house we look for the stainless steel lining. It does not tarnish.

She looks for a silver lining? Is that why she’s criticizing Brutus, dressed in a well pressed black suit and sitting upright, and not seeing his good morning looks? I think her silver is tarnished.

The problem is, the dark cloud keeps finding him… ☺

She must some kind of cock-eyed optimist [South Pacific] to consider Brutus would ever have a future.

An optimist sees the glass as half full.

I see the glass shattered on the floor in hundreds of pieces.

She looks for silver linings around dark clouds?

Someone needs to explain to her what a lining is.
