This joins my two NESM ski ties. Nice to have ties that show my sporting interests. My fiancee approved...that says something.

You'd be surprised. A lot of bigger firms would allow this kind of tie on a Friday or if I was not going to Court. I've seen ties which were much worse!

It's THAT bad?

I'm not one to harp on anyone's fashion sense (except for black Lycra shorts- I think they cut off the flow of common sense to teh brain), but there may be a reason that tie was on clearance.

I have seen worse, though. Much worse, and worn more seriously.

Well fortunately I have no common sense flow to be worried about restricting. Suppose it works the same way on the flow of stupid?

Unfortunately, no- by the time Lycra enters the picture, that flow is far to strong to reduce or eleminate.

Ya can't fix stupid.

I wouldn't be concerned about fashion criticism from a guy that regularly goes out in public in black lycra shorts.

I'm surprised no one's filed against me over that. Scaring children and what not.
You haven't been served yet?

I gotta get a new lawyer.

Well, this is a fun tie. One worn when I want to lighten things up. Is it slightly corny? Yes, but I have seen much, much worse.

As to why it was on sale, I can only say that it was expensive to begin with, and with this economy things such as this aren't selling. I can also say that it is a small volume thing and made in CT.
