Will Rogers was an American actor, comedian, and writer who was known for his wit and wisdom. He was also a skilled cowboy and roper, and was famous for his trick roping. The term 'Will Rogers Prop' is a reference to the tools he used in his performances, which included a ROPE, LARIAT, and LASSO. A ROPE is a length of fibers twisted together, usually made of hemp or cotton. A LARIAT is a long ROPE with a loop at one end, used for catching animals. A LASSO is a loop of ROPE that is thrown around a target and tightened when it is pulled.
