Jack Ryan & Chevy Suburbans

While driving to and from places, BF and I chatted about author Tom Clancy’s character Jack Ryan.  We discussed which actor played Jack Ryan better.  My vote was for Harrison Ford.  Despite being the third book, but secondly released, Patriot Games was the first movie I watched.  BF’s favorite is Alec Baldwin because he saw The Hunt for the Red October first.  I’m not sure why our conversations veer towards odd topics, but we started arguing about Clear and Present Danger. 

BF, “Do you remember the scene when the convoy drove through the streets of Colombia?”
TMF, “Yup.  They were driving Chevy Suburbans.”
BF, “Yes they were.  Do you know which model?”
TMF, “It was the older, boxy body style.  The body style older than mine.”
BF, “No it wasn’t.  The Suburbans they drove were like yours.”
TMF, “I don’t think so.  It was the older model.  I can see the scene in my head.”

 

You're probably wondering why I am writing about this strange argument.  BF and I often like to settle disagreements with bets.

BF, "Name your price."
TMF, "If I win, you have to install the sliding door curtain panels by Friday."
BF, "Deal."
TMF, "And if you win?"
BF, "I get to go fishing whenever I want."
TMF, "Deal."

I won
