Rope people

There were these five rope people who went into a bar. The bar-tender came to the first one and said, "Excuse me, but are you a rope person?"

The first little rope person proudly proclaimed, "Why yes, I am."

"Well, we don't serve your kind here", and he threw the rope person out.

Then, the bar-tender asked the second rope person, "Excuse me, but are you a rope person?" The second rope person stuck out his chin and said, "Why yes, I am."

"Well, we don't serve your kind here", and he threw the rope person out.

The fifth rope person could see that his chances weren't good, and he really wanted to stay. So, he ran into the restroom and tied himself in a big knot so he would look kind of plump. Then, he frayed out the top of his rope to give himself a new 'do.

The fifth little rope person returned to the bar just in time to see his fourth friend thrown from the bar. The bar-tender turned to the fifth rope person and said, "Are you a rope person too?"

The fifth little rope person honestly replied, "Nope. I'm a frayed knot."
