No, no, no! Not "string beans", String Bean - Hillbilly. Banjo player. Grand Ol Opry. Hee Haw. Skinny old guy whose trademark was wearing pants that had the crotch at his knees, making his whole body look longer than it actually was. He and his wife were killed in a home invasion in their old age over a sum of money they had laying around the house - it was either 3k or 5k.
Not enough to kill an old person over, at any rate.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
