Some of you may have seen/heard this one before, but I love it and someone just sent it to me on email - nice to get reacquainted with a favourite old terrible joke!

A string walks into a bar with a few friends and orders a beer. The
bartender says, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve strings here." The string
walks away a little upset and sits down with his friends. A few minutes
later he goes back to the bar and orders a beer. The bartender, looking a
little exasperated, says, "I'm sorry, we don't serve strings here."


So the string goes back to his table. Then he gets an idea. He ties himself
in a loop and messes up the top of his hair. Then he walks back up to the
bar and orders a beer.


The bartender squints at him and says, "Hey, aren't you a string?"


And the string says, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."

tanks, FF. I am rather partial to terrible pun jokes myself. Wish I had the wit to make one up but all of my faves are recycled - like the Patty Whack one, and the Gandhi one, and the prawn one....perhaps one day I'll inflict these on this section of the board, if it wouldn't be "yart"ing.

East coast string and West coast string have a hard time tying the knot because, according to Kipling, "East is east and west is west, and never the twine shall meet." Now, what do y'all know about Kipling? I know nothing, since I've never Kippled.
