Two ropes are walking down the street. They pass a bar that has a sign in the window that says "NO ROPES ALLOWED". The first rope puts on a pair of sunglasses and a cowboy hat, and walks in.
He goes in, sits down, and says "Bartender, give me a drink!" The bartender turns to the rope and says, "Aren't you a rope?". The rope says "yeah yeah yeah", so he gets kicked out.
The second rope ties himself in a knot, and frays himself. He walks into the bar, sits down, and says "Bartender, gimme a drink". The Bartender turns to him, says "Aren't you a rope?", and the Rope goes, "Afraid not!".
