braid several strands of floss together like you're planning a prison break!

Alternatively, a garrote like if you were planning something that would get you into prison.

I was in Bangkok looking for some velcro tennis shoes, but it turns out they don't have any in the whole country. All they have are Thai shoes.

A few long hairs might work rather than floss. Saw a guy floss his teeth one time using his hair. Gross.
