"Pessimist by Nature" joke
In the market for a new bird dog, the avid duck hunter ended his search when he found a dog that could miraculously walk on water to retrieve a duck. Being so shocked by his find, he was certain that none of his friends would believe him.
Deciding to break the news to a close friend of his, who was a pessimist by nature, he invited him to go hunting with him and his new dog. Waiting by the shore, they spotted a flock of ducks flying by. They fired and a duck fell. Responding quickly, the dog jumped into the water. However, he didn't sink, but instead walked across the water and retrieved the duck, never getting more than his paws wet. The pessimistic friend saw all of this, but never uttered a word.
On the journey home, the hunter asked his friend, "Did you happen to notice anything unusual about my dog?"
"I'll say I did," he replied. "He can't swim!"
