Why are you wearing a hat?

Because I put it on.

To clean the flat?

Well.

You put on a hat to clean the flat?

Looks like it.

But… why?

… it’s my cleaning hat.

It is some sort of cheap Trilby hat.

It is my cleaning hat.

Right. Anyway, why do you wear a special hat for hoovering the apartment?

Why not?

Why not, why not, that’s no answer. The question is WHY, not WHY NOT. “Why not” is a cheap counterquestion, used only by children and stubborn persons.

There you go.

Right.
