    I hate ties

    I have been looking though my professional contacts on Face Book. Every guy has their tie perfect- even with the dimple.

    I hate ties.

    It gives an adversary an easy choke out and kill. Of course I know the counter to it, but 99% of men do not.

    I wish ties were tossed into the trash heap of history. They serve no purpose.

    Now, the only time I wear a tie is if I am going to court.

    Ditto. What really gets me about ties is that if I can get through wearing it once or twice without a spot, I'll have it for 10 year spotless but if it's new it's a spot detector.

    Mao never wore at tie. He considered them a sign of Capitalist oppression.

    I wear bow ties. I get far more compliments on my dress with a bow tie then I ever got when I wore a regular tie. I also wear tweed driving caps.

    My dress mess has a bow tie.

    I would never wear one with civilian clothes. Wide shoulders, small waist = does not work with a bow tie. Geek out.

    Some old timer at the gym last week gave me a tie clasp. I took it to be polite. I'll have to wear it one day when I know he's going to be there just so he's happy he gave it to me.

    My blood pressure spikes when I have to put a tie one. I at least leave the top button on my shirt undone.
