The Rope

Why does it always have to be a tug-o-war?

I've never liked this game. I'm cutting the rope in half.

You are free to do with your half as you see fit.
Be creative with it, or do nothing with it.
Your choice.

But don't use your rope to create a noose, a snare, a tripwire, or anything else that interferes with what I choose to do with my rope.

And right now, I'd like to jump rope.

Please give me some room. You're standing on my rope.
