@checkervest this piece of string walks into a bar, tries to order a drink.
the bartender just looks at him and goes "we don't serve your kind in here."
piece of string walks out to the alley behind the bar, rolls around on the ground, gets real messed up, frizzy bits of string sticking all over the place, goes back into the bar and orders a drink
bartender squints at the string and says "aren't you that piece of string who just tried to order a minute ago?"
string says "i'm a frayed knot!"
