piece of rope walks into a bar

[saline]

the rope hops over to a stool and sits down. The bartender turns to the rope and says "we don't serve you're kind here, get out". The rope asks if it can at least use the bathroom and the bartender replies "make it quick". In the bathroom the rope combs his top and twists into a more compact shape.

After emerging from the bathroom he approaches the bar again and sits down. The bartender points at the rope and says "Hey, aren't you that piece of rope I just told to get out!" , the rope replies "No sir, I'm a frayed knot."
