A piece of string walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender refuses to serve the string beer because...well..he's a piece of string.

Dejected, the string walks outside where he comes up with a brilliant idea:
He asks a young lady who just happens to be passing by if she will do him a favor.
He requests that she tie a very large knot in one end of the string, then asks her to fray out the fibers on the short end. She aggrees and ties a large knot, then frays out the fibers on the short end.

The string thanks her and proceeds to strut back into the bar. He bounces back up the same barstool and says, "yo barkeep, beer me".
The bartenders says "hey, aren't you that same piece of string I just kicked out of here?"

The piece of string replys smugly, "hmmmph, I'm afraid not!"

Get it?
The goofy gauge is pegged.
