Three pieces of string standing outside a bar, parched from the heat, see
the sign "String not served here." First one says, "I'm so thirsty, I'll
try to get a drink," and walks in. The bartender sees him, throttles him,
and tosses him out, yelling, "Read the sign - we don't serve string in
here."
Second piece, being somewhat more burly and thinking himself the "tough
string" says, "I'll get a drink!", and walks in. The bartender again grabs
him, throttles him, and throws him out, yelling, "We don't serve ANY string
in here."
The third piece, who is the smarter, says, "I'll get a drink!" He musses up
the top end of his length, wraps himself into a loop, and walks in. The
bartender looks at him and says, "Aren't you a piece of string?" The third
answers, "No - I'm a frayed knot."
