I’ve been a symphony orchestra player for years. One time I showed up for a concert and didn’t have a black tie with me. I took a frantic look through the program, and found a big photo of the conductor wearing a black tie. I found some scissors, cut the tie out, and taped it on my collar. The personnel manager walked right past me a little later and didn’t notice a thing. One of my luckier escapes!
