Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least the Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope.

Rope? Did somebody say rope?

I'm in heaven -- and would consider this a GREAT gift. The Scoutmaster is waiting here with his waxed cotton thread, ready to whip the ends of that 3/8" beauty. The only question is: which knife will I use to cut the cotton thread? Hmmm. This Kershaw? That Randall?

The closest the Scoutmaster ever came to getting a divorce was when his spousal unit "borrowed" one of the Scoutmaster's favorite Rubbermaid tubs of ropes so that a Girl Scout leader she hardly knew could use them for a month to teach knots to her Scouts. I never saw them again, he said, wiping a tear from his eye.

My brother in law has a dibbler...He knows how to join rope to make it longer.

He would think he died and went to heaven with many pieces of rope.
