Dial M for Mental

While watching the tail end of a Magnum P.I. show, my sisters and I made some observations, comparing and contrasting Magnum with MacGyver. Consider the following:

1. MacGyver enjoys the great outdoors; Magnum drives a 308 GTS Ferrari.
2. Magnum is a war vet; MacGyver shies away from every gun.
3. MacGyver is interested in the environment; Magnum like the ladies.
4. Magnum is the only man on earth that can pull off the “mustache-only” look; MacGyver is the only man to actually look attractive in a mullet.
5. MacGyver can make a bomb out of a paper clip and a shoelace…and then defuse it with duct tape and his pocket knife; Magnum wear really short shorts.
6. Magnum never seems to find the right woman to “complete” him; MacGyver finds her every show.

Obviously, these observations of those two great heroes of the 80s serve a grand purpose. Let me know if you think of one.
