Mismatched Partners Who Grudgingly Learn to Respect Each Other

Today, in the store, I saw a couple of guys shopping together.  Ordinarily two guys in this situation would probably be named Colin and Bryce, and they’d be upstairs in the home department picking out sheets.

But NO: this was even better!

Person One: A tall, older gentleman in a vest, work-shirt, jeans, cowboy boots, and a big ol’ ten gallon hat complete with a big feathery embellishment on the front.

Person Two: An honest-to-goodness wisecracking black guy, about twenty years younger than his cowpoke friend.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, if you’re anything like me.  You’re thinking, “Well, obviously, these two men are police detectives, partnered up against their wishes, and they’re headed down the long road to tight, Murtaugh/Riggs bonding and a friendship that will transcend the job and enrich their lives beyond their wildest dreams.”

Exactly!
