Three Strings Walk Into a Bar
They all get a table and one of the strings says he’ll buy them drinks.
He goes up to the bar and says “Three beers please.” The bartender looks at him and says “Sorry, we don’t serve strings here.” The string says “What? You’re joking. No strings?” The bartender says “That’s right. Sorry”. The string goes back to his friends and tells them what the bartender said.
One of the strings says “No way. That’s absurd. You probably just realized you don’t have enough money. Fine, I’ll get the drinks guys.” He goes up to the bar, and slams the table. “Three beers!” The bartender turns to him and says “Hey, like I told your friend, I don’t serve strings here.” The string protests “That’s insane; I’ll even pay extra if you need me, but you can’t just turn me down for being a string.” The bartender raises his voice as he says to the string “I can turn you down, and that’s my policy so get out!” The second string sees there’s no point and storms off back to his friends to tell them the first string was right and they should find another bar.
Suddenly, the third string said “Wait guys, I’ve got an idea.” And worrying someone, mainly the bartender may happen to overhear, he whispered it to his other friends. Next thing you know, they start rolling themselves into a ball and in doing so, they start tearing their ends apart. When they finished, they rolled up to the bar and the third string stuck his head out and said “Three beers please.” The bartender turned to him and said “Sure thing.” But, as he was pouring the drinks, he got suspicious because he remembered those strings who kept trying to order three beers. Turning back to the third string, he asked “Hey, you’re not one of those strings are you?” The third string said to him “Nope. I’m a frayed knot.
