Straight guys simply don’t sit that close to other guys. When I look at that photo, I get this overwhelming urge to quote Moe Howard and yell, “spread out.”
The only explanation as to why they were sitting that close would be if the person who took the picture had been sitting next to 0bama and then jumped up to take the picture...or they were passing a joint and needed to be closer.
In the back of a C-130 or C-47, I'd be willing to make an exception, but under pretty much any other circumstances, I'm in complete agreement with you.
well maybe if there were no where else to sit in the room, the coffe table was full of beer cans and chips and there was a football game on tv. But otherwise no way.
