"I get so drunk that I imagine things" joke

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? ”
“A mongoose. ”
“What 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. ”
