Best friends, roommates insist they are not homosexual

Grand Rapids, Mich. -- Admitted best friends, roommates, and business partners Rubin McNeil and Robert Fentene still insist they are not homosexual, say sources close to the always-together male duo. "Best friends" since 1996, McNeil and Fentene co-own a manicure shop and co-rent a downtown studio loft, both of which are immaculately clean and lavishly decorated.

"We're not homosexual," said Fentene, as McNeil retreated to the dressing room of a popular department store to try on a pair of leather pants, "we just enjoy each other's company so much that we prefer to hang out with each other, rather than date girls or watch sports with other friends. Sometimes we just hang out in bed all day and watch movies."

"Ya, sure they're not gay," countered acquaintance Jamie Deck, rolling his eyes, "and I'm a Chinese jet pilot."
