Three Strings are sitting around in their apartment...

...and the first one says "You know what? I'm tired of just sitting around here. We should DO something." The second replies "We should go to a fancy restaurant!" The third string says "Hey, I know one just down the road!" So, they hop in the spool and drive down to the restaurant. But, when they get there, they see a big sign that says NO STRINGS ALLOWED. The first string says to the group "You know, sometimes they just put these signs up to look cool, I'll bet they'll let us right in." He then walks inside and asks for a table for three. The waiter then says "Did you not see the sign? 'NO STRINGS ALLOWED. '" "Alright, sorry to bother you," the string says and walks out. "Sorry, guys. Looks like we'll be ordering pizza tonight." The second string, really wanting to eat here, says "Sometimes, you just gotta show these guys who's boss, and they'll let you in." So, he walks into the restaurant. "Yo," he says. "I want a table, pronto!" The waiter, a little annoyed now, tell him "Excuse me, but did your friend not tell you? 'NO STRINGS ALLOWED.'" "Come on, man!" The string replies. "We just want a table! We don't want any trouble! " The waiter says "I'm sorry, but if you do not leave, I will have to call the police!" "Alright, alright," the string says as he backs out of the restaurant. "Sorry, guys. No luck," he says to his buddies. "Hold on," says String #3. "I have an idea." He then proceeds to make himself into a loop, then pulls himself through the loop. Then, he frizzes up his ends. He then walks into the restaurant and asks for a table. The waiter, furious now, screams "ARE YOU WITH THOSE STRINGS OUTSIDE?!" To which the string replies "No, I'm a frayed knot."
