How long is a piece of string?

How long is a piece of string?

  • I've just cleared out a drawer in the garage and found 19 different sized pieces of string. Only one of them is 18.4 cm long and I heard that a piece of string has to be 18.4cm to qualify. Man in pub said it, so it must be true.

  • Answer:

    it must be true if you heard it from some guy in the pub! lol wonder what they are if there less?? ** you should go back to the guy with a string thats 18.3 cm! and ask him if he knows what it is. lol

A piece of string goes into a pub an sits down. The bartender says you have to leave we dont serve string here. The string goes out to the street and asks a man to tie him in a knot. The man does it but as he ties the knot the ends of the string become frayed. The string says thats ok and walks back into the pub a sits down. The bartender says, aren't you that piece of string I kicked out of here before. The string says no I'm a frayed knot.

How did Avondrow know that,must be a pub quiz buff. Will rember that piece of usless info for future quizzes. Whats a piece that is longer or shorter? You will have to ask your man in the pub.

I know some one who has a tin full of string. The label on the tin states 'string too short for use'! Next time I see them I will measure these and let you know how long a piece of string is.
