Will Rogers, in his stage performances, used to specialize in rope tricks. Once, in the middle of his act, he got tangled up in his lariat. Instead of getting flustered, he just drawled, “A rope ain’t so bad to get tangled up in if it ain’t around your neck.” The audience loved that so much that he began to put humorous comments in all his shows and, as you know, became much more famous for his wit than for his rope tricks.
