Two bedsheets walk into a bar near Guantanamo Bay. The bartender says "We don't serve your kind in here" and points to a sign that says "No Bedsheets Allowed." The sheets leave and one says to the other, "I guess we're not going to have any drinks." The other says, "I have a plan."

He tears himself into long thin strips and enters a cell in Camp X-Ray. There, he fashions the pieces of himself into a makeshift rope and ties himself into a noose. Then he wraps himself around the neck of a prisoner who was never formally charged with a crime but had been held there for years without access to a lawyer. The sheet chokes the life out of the prisoner until he is dead.

A guard walks by the cell and sees the man hanging by his neck. The guard says, "Wasn't there a prisoner living in here, and shouldn't he have been protected from torture by the Geneva Conventions"? And the sheet says "I'm a frayed knot."
