Tie Fighter

This is unbelievably simple. So simple, in fact, I would be utterly flabbergasted to find out it doesn't already exist. That being said, we're forging on ahead as if it doesn't.

So, ties, as in dress ties, can be cumbersome little buggers if you haven't achieved at least a level 8 mastery of wardrode mechanics. The knot itself is not self-explanatory. What I suggest is that the fine people who manufacture ties simply print instructions on how to configure the effing thing around one's neck on the tie itself. There is often a little tag already on the thing, possessing sufficient blank space, that this could be done with the smallest of amounts of ink.

Now, your finer ties, ones that are to worn by this country's established elite, they probably need no such instruction. The EE either are in ownership of the skill, or employ someone who is. Hence, a line of "starter ties". That kid with the pimples and the prom? He might appreciate something like this.

And who knows, this may lead to an increase in professional attire in the world. And also, ties are hot. This is according to the ladies, of course.

Is it worse that you used a Star Wars reference involving ties, or that I knew what you were talking about?

It's worse for me. You've always been down, and there's no shame in that!

sweet, nice to know the problem lies with you, glad to dodge that bullet... :-P

and maybe you should look at not being able to tie a tie as an opportunity to get really close to a girl, well, a girl that can tie ties, which maybe aren't that common, but its an idea!
