"Why does God need a cane?"

SEOUL, South Korea – After vanishing from the public eye for nearly six weeks, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is back, ending rumors that he was gravely ill, deposed or worse.
Now, a new, albeit smaller, mystery has emerged: Why the cane?
Kim, who was last seen publicly at a Sept. 3 concert, appeared in images released by state media Tuesday smiling broadly and supporting himself with a walking stick while touring the newly built Wisong Scientists Residential District and another new institute in Pyongyang, part of his regular "field guidance" tours. The North didn't say when the visit happened, nor did it address the leader's health.
Kim's appearance allowed the country's massive propaganda apparatus to continue doing what it does best — glorify the third generation of Kim family rule. And it will tamp down, at least for the moment, rampant rumors of a coup and serious health problems.
Before Tuesday, Kim missed several high-profile events that he normally attends and was described in an official documentary last month as experiencing "discomfort."
Archive footage from August showed him overweight and limping, prompting the South Korean media to speculate he had undergone surgery on his ankles. Some experts thought he was suffering from gout or diabetes.

Maybe it’s his “pimp stick”.
You know what they say
Pimpin aint’ easy LOL!
Oh, does CBSNBCABCCNN all work in North Korea too? Seems to work for Obama.
He must have applied for Disability Insurance and he is waiting for his hearing in Washington.
BTW, it’s a slam dunk he gets it!
He sprained his ankle running a marathon??
The powers that be over there didn’t kill him as rumored. They just kneecapped him as a warning.
Bummer. It was more interesting to imagine him being “disappeared” for months, years even, while everyone guessed where he was, or if he was dead.
When and where such visits, “inspections”, take place is a state secret and the people of NK know better than to try and keep track of when and where he has been in the past.
It is not like you can trust the NK media to report anything factually.
Actually, I suspected he had diabetes. He was known for indulging in sweets .. more than just the usual small helping of dessert after his evening meal.
The clues for me were the extended belly, possibly indicating an unusual weight gain; then the limp, possibly indicating swollen feet and/or ankles.
It would take a few weeks to begin possible insulin treatments .. changing his diet, etc. And .. he has emerged a much more slender looking person .. but the slight limp would be consistent with the disease.
He went to Hell and had a Hitler “pineapple incident”. (Explains the cane)
Satan said, “What are YOU doing here?! You're one of my best workers.
Get back up there, you knucklehead!”
Satan gave him a noogie and he got into the rarely used “UP” elevator (Last used by a Warner Brothers cartoon cat in 1948) and now he smells of smoke and sulfur.
