      They'd immediately bond. Then clash over some vague piece of dogma. Then they A) declare a family fatwa on the other and become mortal enemies. B) stay friends but constantly try to "kill" each other as a "joke". 😆

      I would imagine that dwight would look up to Ron and follow him similar to the way he did with Michael but Ron would be immensely annoyed by him.

      ongtruong minhvy having a flag at half mast means its only up halfway up. This is only done when mourning the lost of someone or several people for example after 911 all flags in the US were at half mast.

    • @Davionious
      @Davionious Před 6 lety +1

      The second part of the joke is irony that that the flag was not on a ship so it was not on a mast. ie it was half staff not half mast. This is funny because Ron Swanson comes across as a bloviating know-it-all who would not know or care about the distinction.
