I agree!  Does anyone know how many world leaders actually wear a tie
to work?  Probably not many.

I understand that there is a restaurant in Phoenix that if you walk in
wearing a tie they will grab a pair of scissors and chop off part of it.
The pieces of all of the ties are then posted on the ceiling  [Maybe
this should be in net.bizarre].  A good reason not to wear one if you
asked me.
