... vestigial remnant of an actual piece of equipment adorning an enforced attempt to limit foppish competition between court executives ...

Actually, you're correct, as I was told it is a throw-back to the bib that the gluttons wore at the table.

(Most of my ties did have sundry spots on them!)

I’m not sure my wife would like me in a purple tire;

Nelson Mandela's opponents didn't like them at all.

Au contraire, the tie is a sexual insignia. Just the same as those black triangles the women are all wearing now, formed by low-cut tops and black camisoles.

When it comes to ties, the Sunday Fox football crew of Bradshaw, Strahan, Johnson and Long are THE snappiest dressers on TV........they bring class to the sport of football.
