Tethered To Each Other/Plot

Intro
The "Tethered To Each Other" plot is where two characters are tied to each other with an actual tether or something else like a rope or chain. No matter what they do, they cannot break the tether and free themselves.

Plot Sample
Guy and Hugo are experimenting with how long they can be forced to be with each other before they begin to hate the other. Guy gets a 20' steel tether and ties it around his and Hugo's wrists. They spend some days around one another with no more than twenty feet between them. After day four, they start to hate it and want the tether off. But it won't untie. Guy tries a saw on it, only getting the teeth dull and worthless. Hugo gets a gun and tries to shoot the tether until it breaks, but his gun just runs out of ammo. In the end, The Stupid Solution frees the two and they vow to never make the same idiotic mistake again.
