Bye-bye Neckties??
Ahh, the man's necktie. Trading in the clip-on for a real tie once marked a boy turning into a man. And what would college high jinks and "luck" been like without the tie on the door knob? A little less private I'd guess. Wonder what they do now? Because the necktie seems to be dying. Remember the photos of the Great Depression where men wore ties while standing in soup lines? And pictures taken at baseball games where most of the men were wearing ties? Then came casual Fridays, which pretty much morphed into casual Mondays and Tuesdays and... Today wearing a tie means you're a lawyer or a judge — people you don't want to see. Or it means you're a Tom Hicks or a Warren Buffett. I'd gladly wear a tie if I had that kind of money. Of course, wearing a tie pretty much means wearing a shirt with a collar. Hey Ross! Ross! Do you own more than one shirt with a collar? You're over thirty. It's time to trade in those T-shirts when going out in public.
