| + | * the description is a reference to a joke, one version of which goes like this: |
| + | ''These three strings are walking along, dying of thirst in the middle of Death Valley. After a long, long trek. They come to a bar. |
| + | |
| + | "Boy, this is just in time...I can't go any farther." So he walks into the bar and orders a drink. |
| + | |
| + | "Can't you read the sign there? We don't serve no strings here" bellows the bartender. |
| + | |
| + | "But I'm going to die of thirst" protests the string. |
| + | |
| + | With that the bartender picks him up, and throws him out into the street. |
| + | |
| + | One of his buddies says "I'll disguise myself as a rope and go in to get us a drink." So, in he goes. |
| + | |
| + | "Hey, I thought I told your friend that we don't serve your kind here. Now get out that door before I stomp on you!" So he quickly retreats out the door. |
| + | |
| + | Finally the last string says "Hey, I've got an idea...I'll tie myself up like a pretzel, and frizzle out my ends, so he won't recognize me." So in he goes into the bar. He gets up to the bar and orders a drink. |
| + | |
| + | The bartender eyes him a little suspiciously. "Hey, aren't you one of those strings I told to get out of here?" |
| + | |
| + | To which the string answered "No, I'm a frayed knot." |
