New The tie is doomed.
In the Los Angeles Times Sunday magazine West of a week ago there was an article on ties by a guy who mentioned being rejected on a first date because he forgot to take his off after a business meeting.

I'm old enough to wear a tie and not look weird but younger guys wouldn't dare - and I would never wear one on a date. Of course if the tie goes out in Los Angeles it will soon be gone worldwide - except perhaps in Japan and the Financial district of London.

Even I would never wear a dark tie with a white shirt. You dress like that and everyone thinks you're a Mormon missionary. No danger though, I don't own a white shirt.

New I have a closet full of ties I don't hardly wear anymore
My favorite was my anti-corporate corporate tie I got from a street vendor in NO. I got rid of it a while ago, but from what I remember it was made of plastic and equated time with money, etc.

Of course, I only wore it once or twice.

New I had a bunch of ties in the late 80s
But haven't worn em since.

Work attire these days is shorts and t-shirt. I might shower, too.

New My last family funeral was a no tie affair
Ties were something I would have previously thought decorum required. Especially in the case of my grandmother, the 97 year old matriarch of our tribe. Nope, the only people wearing ties were the staff of the funeral parlor and one or two of the oldest of her extended brood*.




*78 descendents showed up at the last family picnic 30 years ago.
