Short Link to this Quote:
In this humorous quote, Jerry Lewis is joking about a visit to the doctor where he was told he had a “dual personality”. When the doctor charges him $82 for the visit, Lewis sarcastically replies that since he has two personalities, he will only pay half ($41) and suggests the doctor collect the other half from his “other guy” or second personality.
Lewis is using exaggeration and absurdity for comedic effect. His joke implies that if he truly had two distinct people living within him, each should only be financially responsible for their share of the bill.
The quote reflects Lewis’ talent for self-deprecating humor and witty one-liners played for laughs, even when poking fun at his own supposed mental condition.
