Three pieces of strong were walking through the desert
They came to a town with the sign “Velcro Town” and underneath “No Strings Allowed”. Now obviously the two strings were upset by this, but they were tired and thirsty from their trek, so they go into the town anyway. They come upon a saloon, and outside the door is a sign that says “No Strings Allowed”.
One of the strings screws up his courage and walks into the saloon and says “Barkeep, gimme a beer!” The bartender looks at the string and says “Aren’t you a string?” to which the string replies “I sure am!” The bartender says “I thought so!”, grabs a hold of him, and throws him out the door.
The next string sees this and gets really mad. He barges into the saloon and says “Barkeep, gimme a beer!” The bartender looks at the string and says “Aren’t you a string?” to which the string replies “I am, and I’m damn proud of it!” The bartender says “I knew it!”, grabs a hold of him, and throws him out the door.
The third piece of string watches this and then throws himself on the ground, writhing and twisting around in the dirt. He stands up, walks into the saloon and says “Barkeep, gimme a beer!” The barkeep looks at him intently and asks “Aren’t you a string?” and he replies “Nope, I’m a frayed knot.”
