Tie a String...

Have you ever see the little cliché picture of a finger with a string tied around it? You know, the little picture that is supposed to indicate a reminder for something?

I just have one question: How in the world can you tie a string around your own finger, when you need that finger to tie the string? All of the little pictures I've ever seen have nice little round bows, as if it was tied with the delicacy of a shoelace. Well, for the record, I've tried to tie a string around my finger like that, and it's just not possible.

The truth is that you need someone to help you by tying the string around your finger. And if you've got someone to help tie the string, why can't that person just help you remember whatever it is you're supposed to do?

Just a thought...
