ok, so maybe some of you have heard this one. None the less, I feel moved to share. There are three pieces of string sitting on a curb outside of a local ice cream parlour. The day is soo hot, and they are feeling really thirsty, so the first one says to the other two. " Hey i'm going to go into the shop and get us some cola." They both look at him , the second says " No, i don't think they'll let you, just look at you". The first one replies, " Don't worry, I know my stuff" and he heads in. The string sits down at the counter and soon , a man comes to him. " Hi, I'd like a glass of soda please." The man looks at him, " but you're a piece of string, we don't serve string, get out of here". SO the poor string, leaves and walks back to his friends. The two shake there heads, but the second one says, " I'll try". He walks into the shop and sits down. The man comes back and yells " hey , did i just tell you to get out of here, we don't serve string.". Sadly , the second leaves, without having said anything. Finally , the third says " I have an idea ..he untangles the top of his lace, and ties himself into a knot and walks inside the shop, determined to get soda. The man comes back out to see the string sitting at the counter. He stares at him strangely as he approached. The string says " Good morning, sir, I would like one Root Beer please". The man stares at him and finally asks. " HEY!! aren't you a string?" The string replies very calmly, " nope, i'm a frayed KNOT."
