A Veteran notices that his mate is wearing an earring who is normally a conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense." The Veteran walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings." "Don't make such a big deal out of this, it's only an earring," he replies his mate sheepishly. The Veteran 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 Missus found it in my f”kin car!"
