A group of cavemen and cavewomen are in a cave near some paintings. The paintings depict a caveman getting accidentially hit with a spear through their chest. One of the cavemen has a spear through his chest in real life. Two people talking to the speared man seem curious about how this happened.
The fact that the accident was immortalized in a cavepainting, despite happening so recently that the person depicted is around to see it is odd.
Why did this accident get depicted? How does the person with the spear through their chest feel about themselves getting painted?
I almost wore the same spear.

At a high society art gathering, it might be a social disaster if two people wore the same outfit --- and the person is talking about how they almost wore the same thing as the other caveperson. But, the thing is a spear, not an outfit. And, the art on the wall is showing how the caveperson accidentially ended up "wearing" the spear (in a hunting accident) --- so, the person in the same hunting party may have literally almost worn the same spear because they were standing nearby when the impaling happened.
