a man who, given the choice of two evils, chooses both

a man who looks both way before crossing a one-way street

a man who looks both ways when he crosses the street

a man who looks both ways when he's crossing a one-way street

a man who tells the truth prematurely

a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself and hates them for it

a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for the coffin

a man who winds an eight-day clock every night

a narrow-hearted, narrow-brained man, with a contracted mental horizon, who allows himself to get frightened at the first severe squall, and imagines the ship of state will founder

a person who looks both ways before crossing a one way road
