have requested to 'hear' the `frayed knot' joke I will `tell' it.
(No Carol asking twice does not count for two votes).
There were three ropes walking down the street on a hot summer afternoon.
The first rope, we can call him Manila, says. "It sure is hot." The
second rope, we can call him Sisal, says, "Yup, it sure is hot." The
third rope, we can call him Ny (short for Nylon) says, "My is it Hot! I
could sure use a cool drink." The walked a little further, and Manilla
says, "Isn't that a lemonade stand over there?" Ny says, "I believe you
are right, it is a lemonade stand." Sisal says, "Lets go get us a drink
of lemonade." They stop a short distance from the stand to decide who
will go get the lemonade. Ny is chosen. So Ny walks up to the lemonade
stand and says in a very polite voice, "Three glasses of lemonade
please." The proprietor looks up and says, "I am sorry we don't serve
ropes." Ny goes back to his friends. They ask where the lemonade is, he
says, "They don't serve ropes." Sisal says, "You just didn't ask right,
let me show you how to do it." He walks up the lemonade stand and says
in his most authoritative voice, "Give me three glasses of lemonade
please." The proprietor looks up and says somewhat angrily, "Look I told
you friend, we don't serve ropes." Sisal goes back to his friends. They
ask him where the lemonade is, he says, "He told me they don't serve
ropes. I think he is getting mad." Manila says, "You two are just
amateurs, let me show you how a professional does it." So Manila twists
himself up like a pretzel, messes up his hair and walks up to the
lemonade stand. The proprietor looks up just as he gets there and says,
"Look I told your two friends that we don't serve ropes." Manila draws
himself up tall and says, "I'm a frayed knot."
There, I think that it would be a good skit, but then I like puns. The
challenge will be getting a boy into a knot. There is a little risk in
this story because it might be viewed by some to be about prejudice. So
use at your own risk.
I hope that no one on this list is offended by this. If I have offended
anyone I am sorry, I did not intend to offend anyone.
