According to Plato in "The Symposium", humans used to be bigger and stronger in the old days. The gods decided to weaken them by splitting each human into two: a man and a woman. Ever since, we wander the face of Earth, looking for our other half.

A Roman centurion rides through the night, heading home from a party. A police officer stops him. Centurion: What seems to be the problem Officer? Officer: Good evening Centurion. Constitutio and license please. Officer: Speeding, were we over there? Centurion: I was riding at the speed limit, Officer. Officer: Are you returning from an orgy? Looks like you have been drinking. Centurion: No, Officer. Officer: How many are these (shows the index finger)? Centurion: One (I) Officer: How many are these (shows index and middle finger)? Centurion: Five (V) Officer: Ok. Go home and ride carefully. ------ If you don't get it you probably need to revisit roman letters. Thanks to jqs for police man ascii http://www.geocities.com/spunk1111/men.htm
