Good:
"I'd rather be hung than watch this movie, and I'd even tie the know myself".


Better:
"I'd rather be HANGED than watch this movie, and I'd even tie the KNOT myself".

I was more or less quoting the Wyoming actual cowboy who said it. He probably doesn't have a college degree.

He also said "I'd even tie the KNOT myself" not "I'd even tie the KNOW myself".
