Some pairs are of objects that can also stand alone:
Pair of hard boiled eggs.
Pair of dancers.
Pair of kidneys.
Pair of salt & pepper shakers.
Pair of hunters.
Some pairs are of objects that have no meaning alone:
Pair of scissors. (Ever heard of one scissor?)
Pair of pants. (Ever heard of one pant?)
Pair of pliers. (Hand me the plier?)
Whee!!!

Bob
