GUY 1 and GUY 2 are pleased by the similarity in shirts. They shake hands, slap each other's back.

This piece actually was written because Patrick and I owned virtually identical shirts: t-shirts from the gap with light gray torsos and blue collars and sleeves. I used the same shirt with red sleeves and slightly lighter torso for Guy 2. Stage this with a different style of shirt, hats, or whatever you have.
