The drunk was floundering down the alley carrying a box
with holes on the side. He bumped into a friend who asked, "What
do you have in there pal?"
"It’s a mongoose."
"What have you got that for?"
"Well, you know how drunk I can get. When I get
drunk I see snakes, and I'm scared to death of snakes.
That's why I got this mongoose, for protection."
"But," the friend said, "you idiot! Those
are imaginary snakes."
"That's okay," said the drunk, showing his
friend the interior of the box, "So is the mongoose."
