what’s with that show “two and a half men” on, uh, abc? cbs? who does the title refer to? and how is it divided up?

is charlie the half? are they just simply saying that the kid is half of a man? i don’t understand. could charlie and jake both be ¾ of a man and jon cryer is the whole? or is it always fluctuating, but does so without altering the fact that the sum of their manliness is always equal to 2½? and who decided this? and is it as limiting as it seems?

maybe we’ll learn later on in the series that jon cryer is secretly half a man. or a woman like chris o’donnell. that would be great! i wouldn’t see that coming in a million years!
