A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring. This man knows his co-worker to be a normally, conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in fashion sense. The man walks up to him and says, I didn't know you were into earrings.

Don't make a big deal, it's only an earring, he replies sheepishly. His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to say, So, how long have you been wearing one? Ever since my wife found it in my truck.
