A man notices that his coworker is wearing an earring.
This man knows his coworker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is
curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense."
So, he says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."
"Don't make a big deal of it, it's only an earring," the coworker replies
peevishly.
His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods
him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"
"Ever since my wife found it in my car."
I always wondered how this trend got started, and
now I know.
