The policeman took pity on him and asked why he was in such a despair. And the drunkard replied, "I see two of him!"

One man went to d psychoanalyst. He was suffering from double vision: he was seeing everything as two, not as one. He will look at a pillar and he will see two pillars, and of course there was difficulty -- which one is the real one?
