"No burger for you! Next!"
Kids (actually grown) took me to a cowboy restaurant once. I knew if you wore a necktie in there, they'd cut it off and hang it on one of their walls as a "trophy."
So I wore a tie.
"Pop, you know they cut off your tie in there? The waitresses even have scissors in their aprons."
"Yep. I know. Cheap old tie, don't worry about it," I said.
But I had a length of ~18 ga steel stovepipe wire stuck in there.
What fun !
After the waitress struggled to cut though the wire in the middle of the tie for a bit, she caught on, and I finally pulled out the wire so they could have their trophy. We all had a good laugh over that one.
