Will Smith's smooth line

According to a recent online article, on his first date with his future wife Jada Pinkett, Will Smith looked across the restaurant table and told her, “That glass of water, when you look at it, it’s to your left. But when I’m sitting across from you, that same glass is to my right.” Pinkett says her response to this was to think “This guy has everything I need.”

Now my response to that line is to think, “What the heck is he talking about?” Is there something about that line that line that went over my head? Or is it all in the delivery; as in, any random babbling sounds profound if it’s delivered by somebody who’s rich, famous, and good-looking?

I suppose it’s just a little metaphor for how people can seeing things differently from each other without anyone being wrong.

Or possibly they were both drunk. You would have to be pretty buzzed to come up with something like that, and you’d have to be hammered to think that it means something deep.

i nominate it for the paris hilton retarded philosophy hall of fame.
…and, not because it’s my idea, but i think we need a sticky note in the beginning of the thread that is said hall of fame.

it’s got legs, methinks. the idea. not paris. we know paris has legs. the problem is getting her to close them. the legs. not the ideas…okay. i’ll stop now.

Well? Don;t leave us hanging, was the glass on the right or the left?

To you it’s on the right, but to me, it’s either half full or half empty, depending on which is the bigger half.

Ah, I get it now, it’s all to do with straw theory.

You know, I saw a t shirt yesterday that asked me, “Is your glass half empty or half full?”

And I thought, “Completely empty, because I was thirsty.” :smiley:

It all depends on which hand is doing the clapping, really.

But if nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

It’s true I don’t understand why the connection was made, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t make sense. Sometimes people can just be on exactly the same wavelength.

If it were any different, we wouldn’t be here to ask the question.

Are you sure we’re here? how could we be here without coming halfway first?

Well, I know I’m full.

He used one hand to give her the clap? If nobody was there to hear it, what would the sound of that one hand clapping be?

Well damn, If I had know that Jada was that easy, I would have made a move.

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Maybe he was dipping his dong in it from where he was sitting.

To the pessiment: the glass just fell off the table onto a sleeping pitbull’s head.

Heck yea! I bet anyone who was a millionaire Hollywood star coulda had her!
