There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT" (R.E.M. Appreciation Station)

Once upon a time in the band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia, there lived a reclusive old man named Brivs Mekis. He hardly ever left his house, and most of his neighbours simply referred to him as ‘that Russian guy’. When Mekis died, they discovered that the inside of his house was split down the middle - he effectively had two houses in one, each individually inhabitable, each equipped with all necessary facilities and mod cons.

The two half-houses were connected by a single internal door, but other than that, they were basically two completely separate properties. Mekis, it seems, had commissioned this odd feature himself; when he got bored of living in House A, he would just pop through the door to House B and live there for a while. Then, when the novelty of House B wore off and he started pining for House A again, he could go back there in the blink of an eye.

when you tire of one side the other serves you best
