Two ropes walk into a bar.
Bartender says, "Hey we don't serve ropes here!"
So the ropes leave, but one really wants a drink. So he says to the other one, "Tie me up and drag me around the alley for a little bit."
So the second one ties him up and does as the first asks.
The first rope then goes back in the bar and orders a drink.
The bartender looks him over and says, "You look like a rope. We don't serve ropes here. Are you a rope?"
The rope replies, "I'm a frayed knot!"
