[Bill arrives at the office with a cane.]

Dave:
Hi, Bill...something wrong with your leg?

Bill:
Not that I'm aware of, but thanks for asking.

Dave:
If there's nothing wrong with your leg, then why the cane?

Bill:
The what?

Dave:
The cane. Your walking stick.

Bill:
Oh, you mean my cane. Picked her up at an antique store over lunch. They say she's over a hundred years old. Hand-carved mahogany with a solid brass tip. What's the matter, Dave? Don't you like my cane?

Dave:
Again, Bill, why do you have a cane?

Bill:
You like my cane, don't you, Catherine?

Catherine:
It's a cane, Bill. Who cares?

Bill:
[laughing] You see, it's just like that saying: "Everybody loves a cane."

Dave:
No, Bill, I believe the saying is "Everybody loves a clown", which is what you look like with that thing.

Bill:
Ahh! You're jealous of her, aren't you?

Dave:
No, Bill, I'm not jealous of her. It's just that it's such an obvious affectation, a desperate bid for attention.

Bill:
Maybe. Or maybe I just like canes.
