’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man (ZZ Top)

Don’t turn too fast and avoid wind.

The ties that blind.

I believe that ties are what slave collars evolved into.

But productivity does go down when you wear a tie, business jacket and white shirt. I prefer the standard Berkeley corporate uniform: long hair, faded jeans, grubby shirt and cheap sneakers. Thanks Dr. Clifford Stoll!

Help! My tie is lodged in my navel.

Roger isn’t making any sense.

This is why I started wearing tee shirts under my shirt.

Get another shirt, Roger.

A couple of Christmases back, during the height of the pandemic, my wife and I ushered our outdoor Christmas services. We had two and had to reconfigure the seating into family units between.

When I got back from the event, I had a slight rash on my neck. It was the first time I had worn a stiff collared shirt and tie in months.

I’ll continue to eat the dead horse. MORON!!!

Although sewing a couple of buttons on that shirt would help (the tie can hide it if they aren’t an exact match for the others), it looks like it’s a bit too tight for him anyway.

No on will know.

I believe neckties, along with three piece suits, dickies, and frilly shirt fronts like you see in the “Dust in the Wind” music video, are vestiges of days when catching a glimpse of a man’s shirt in public was considered indecent.

T-shirts are for covering belly…

Missing buttons are what safety pins are for.

When Megacorp went to casual, I wore polo shirts every day. They stretch in strategic spots.

Some ties are cool, others are a pain in the neck. On casual work clothes, I recall my manager telling her boss that if he tried to rescind casual work attire, requiring her to wear pantyhose again, she would strangle him with them.
