The last time I wore a tie actually draped around my neck was the wife's
and my first wedding anniversary 32 years ago this year. The suit I wore
that evening was also the last suit I've ever owned. The suit went about
30 years ago, but I still have the tie. I used it as a headband while
experiencing the excesses of the late 1960s and early 70s. I tried to
sell it at a garage sale a few years ago, but when the woman who was
going to buy it found out it was my one and only tie, she wouldn't finish
the sale. She said something about it being immoral for a man not to own
at least one tie. Whatever...

That is unfortunate, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

At least you've found a way to do it with a grin...
