CH: What are you looking at?
Me: (sipping coffee) I'm looking at that guy's cowboy belt.
CH: (spearing a piece of egg like a true hunter) Why?
Me: Because I was admiring how well made it is. I mean, look at it. Silver buckle, hand tooled leather, and braided leather trim. It's awesome.
CH: (pushing his toast into his cheek with his tongue so he can talk)It's aluminized plastic tubing.
Me: No it's not. It's real leather.
CH: He probably bought it at the Tractor Supply store.
Me: (spreading 1/2 a packet of jelly onto my toast) I don't think so. It's real.
CH: (disdainfully chewing the last piece of undercooked bacon) What makes you think it's real?
Me: I don't think he's the kind of guy who wears plastic. He looks like he means business to me.
I think I was right. Those two good old boys just drank their coffee and barely exchanged two words. They looked a little tough from years of hard work and supporting their families. Guys like that don't wear plastic.
